someone give me the formula to figure out the problem....Daniel sees a lighthouse in the harbor. He estimates the angle of elevation is 50°. If the lighthouse is 160 feet tall, what is the approximate distance between Daniel and the top of the lighthouse? (Assume the lighthouse meets the ground at a right angle.)
