Question

A monument stands on level ground. The angle of elevation to the top of the monument taken at a point 405 feet away is 32 degrees. Find the height of the monument.

Answer 1

I need help with figuring out how to do this. ~Thanks

Answer 2

Tg32=h/405
Use that yo solve it

Answer 3

\(\bf sin(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}
\qquad \qquad
% cosine
cos(\theta)=\cfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

\\ \quad \\
% tangent
\qquad \bullet\quad tan(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent}
\\ \quad \\ \quad \\
tan(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent}\implies adjacent\cdot tan(\theta)=opposite\)
