This situation forms a right triangle. We are given the distance from the base of the tower (long leg of the triangle) and are asked to find the height (short leg of the triangle).

With this information, we can use the tan ratio, opposite over adjacent, to find the height of the tower.

tan 18 = $\frac{x}{100}$

Multiply each side by 100:

(100) tan 18 = x

Simplify and round to the nearest tenth:

32.49 = x

32.5 = x

So, the height of the tower is approximately 32.5 feet

The values have being matched to the variables that they represent here:

x-variable: the number of hours Sam works at the airport
y variable: the amount in dollars that Sam has after paying back Daniel
12: amount in dollars that Sam earns per hour.
40: the amount in dollars Sam owes Daniel

<h3>How to solve for the equation.</h3>

The equation of this form y = 12x-40

The variable y has been said to be the amount sam has after Daniel has been paid.

X is the amount that has to be multiplied by what he earns in dollars by the hour.

40 dollars is the amount that he owes which is going to be subtracted from what he earns by the hour.
