Question 177268This question is from textbook
: The highest advertising sign in the world is a large letter I situated at the top of the 73-story First Interstate World Center building in Los Angeles. At a distance of 200 feet from a point directly below the sign, the angle between the ground and the top of the sign is 77.87°. To the nearest tenth, approximate the height of the top of the sign. This question is from textbook
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Using right triangle math, in which the height (h) is the unknown and the base is 200 feet, use the tangent function (opposite over adjacent) to find h. Multiply both sides by 200. feet.
