Answer:
The Height of the cliff is 41.5 meters tall.
Option B. 41.5 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
AB = 85 meter
Angle of elevation ∠ C= 26°
To Find:
Cliff height = AB = ?
Solution:
In right angle Triangle ABC by tangent Identity we have
Substituting the given values we get
The Height of the cliff is 41.5 meters tall.
To solve this, it might be easier to draw it out (see the picture below). I split it into two triangles and used trig functions to find the altitude. I used the big triangle to find theta, and the used theta to find the side of the altitude. *remember that sine= opposite/hypotenuse*
