The question in the attachment;

Required

Determine the error

See attachment for proper representation of the angle of elevation;

Solving further (From the Attachment)

$Tan22 = \frac{x}{3000}$

Multiply both sides by 3000

$x = 3000 * tan22$

$x = 3000 * 0.4040$

$x = 1212$

The cliff is about 1212 feet high
