heylo

Answer 3

here, we have the opposite side and adjacent side, do you know whcih of the trigonometric equations we can use for this?

Answer 4

Tangent

Answer 5

rightttttttt
so how would you set of the equationn

Answer 6

tan(theta)=opposite/adjacent

Answer 7

tan(29)=h / 400

Answer 8

Maybe?

Answer 9

yeppiiiiiiiiiiii

Answer 10

yaayy

Answer 11

so then just put it into a calculator :)
400 (tan29)

Answer 12

Ohh okk

Answer 13

Ok so it went like 400 (tan(29)) is that it?

Answer 14

yepppppp

Answer 15

So 221.72
