g. How tall is the tower? Round your answer to the nearest meter
1 answer:
Answer: 89 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Similar triangles have sides in proportion.
All sides of the tower's triangle are 48.25/1.74 times as long as the pole's triangle.
The tower is 3.2 × 48.25 / 1.74 = 88.7356321 m
Answer is 89 meters.
