You can put this solution on YOUR website! The Washington Monument is 169 meters high.
Find the angle of elevation to the nearest degree to the top of the monument from a point .5 km from the base
:
Change .5 km to 500 meters
:
Use the tangent of the angle (A), side opposite(169)/side adjacent(500)
tan(A) =
A = 18.675 ~ 19 degrees
