Question 1028346
226.78 feet
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here you have to remember SOHCAHTOA and on this problem we use TOA:
Tangent(26) = Opposite/Adjacent = x/465 (opposite is the rise, the "how far above the field")
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
tan(26) = x/465 let's flip it so the unknown is on the left:
x/465 = tan(26) Multiply both sides by 465:
x = tan(26)*465 Use your calculator, calculate tan(26):
x =  0.4877*465 = 226.78
