PART A: All but two of the pyramids built by the ancient Egyptians have faces inclined at 52 degree angles. Suppose an archaeologist discovers the ruins of a pyramid. Most of the pyramid has eroded, but the length of a side of the square base is 82 meters. How tall was the pyramid, assuming its faces were inclined at 52 degrees? Round your answer to the nearest meter.

$$\tan 52 = \frac{ a }{82}$$

$$\tan 52 = \frac{147}{ b }$$

This is about as far as I get with either one.
