Question 35706
Draw a picture of a tower of height x, that is perpendicular to the ground.  The shadow is on the ground at a distance of 120 meters.  This one requires trigonometry, where {{{tan 41 = (opposite)/(adjacent) = x/120}}}


Therefore {{{ x = 120* tan 41}}} degrees.  Be sure your calculator is in degree mode and calculate:  x = 104.31 meters.
