What is the distance, in feet, between the tip of the tower A and a point C on the ground?

Answer 1

180

Answer 2

?

Answer 3

\[\tan(42)=\frac{BC}{200}\]
\[BC=200\tan(42)\]

Answer 4

200 sec 42°
200 sin 42°
200/tan42
200/cosec42

Answer 5

those are the answer choices

Answer 6

Oh they want hypotenuse

Answer 7

\[\cos(42)=\frac{200}{AC}\]
\[AC=\frac{200}{\cos(42)}\]
\[AC=200\sec(42)\]

Answer 8

200 sec 42°

Answer 9

thanks
