Question 486687: The crane shown below is 10 feet high and has a boom of length 127 feet. The boom can open to a maximum angle of 80.3 degrees. What is the maximum tip height, h, that the crane can reach? Answer by cleomenius(959) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! We can solve this with the sine function.
sine 80.3 degrees = opp/hyp = height / 127.
.9857 * 127 = 125.184 feet.
