Question

From a boat on the lake, the angle of elevation to the top of a cliff is 24°52'. If the base of the cliff is 944 feet from the boat, how high is the cliff (to the nearest foot)?

Answer 1

????

Answer 2

now what
tan24=x/944?

Answer 3

?

Answer 4

so to find the height you do \[\tan(24°52') = \frac{ x }{ 944 }\] so the height would equal \[x = \tan(24°52')*944\]

Answer 5

how do i put that in my calculator
