Algebra.Com's Answer #60126 by dolly(163)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The scenario forms a right triangle whose base is 50 ft and the angle of inclination is 66 degree.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In this case, tan 66 = opp/adj\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " = ht of antenna/base\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " 2.246 = ht of antenna/50\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Ht of antenna = 50 x 2.246\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " = 112.3\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " = 112 ft \n" ); document.write( " |
