Question 1202191

What is the answer to “The shadow of a vertical tower is 40.6 m long when the angle of elevation of the sun is 34.6°. Find the height of the tower.”

elevation of the sun is 34.6°{{{theta}}}

shadow of a vertical tower is 40.6 m 

tan {{{theta}}} = height of tower / length of shadow

tan 34.6 = Height of tower/ 40.6 

Height of tower = tan 34.6  * 40.6

= 28 m
