The highest free-standing tower in North America is the CN Tower in Toronto, Canada.
From a distance 1 km from its base, the angle of elevation to the top of the tower is 28.81 degrees.
Find the height of the tower. (round answer to the nearest tenth of a meter)
:
A right triangle is formed by the tower, a point 1000m from the tower
Use the tangent. let h = the height of the tower
tan(28.81) =
h = 1000 * tan(28.81)
h = 550 meters
