<PRE><B>Question 698383</B>
To find the height of a tower, a surveyor positions a transit that is 2 meters tall at a spot 95 meters from the base of the tower. She measures the angle of elevation to the top of the tower to be 32 degrees. What is the height of the tower, to the nearest meter ?
---------------
tan(32) = h/95
h = 95*tan(32)
h =~ 59.4 m
----
Add 2 for the transit
h =~ 61 meters
