Answer:

The height of the lighthouse is approximately 166.6 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the lighthouse be represented by s, then;

Tan 48° = (opposite) ÷ (adjacent)

Tan 48° = s ÷ 150

⇒ s = 150 × Tan 48°

      = 150 × 1.1106

     = 166.59

s ≅ 166.6 feet

Therefore, the height of the lighthouse is approximately 166.6 feet.

What is the radius of the base of the cone in the figure below?
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:  approximately 12.17 units

==========================================================

Work Shown:

We'll use the tangent ratio to find r

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(49) = 14/r

r*tan(49) = 14

r = 14/tan(49)

r = 12.1700143294271

r = 12.17

The radius is approximately 12.17 units long.
