Question

Meteorologist Wendy Stevens uses a theodolite (an angle-measuring device) on a

Answer 1

I get sin(44)=x / 1400x=1400sin(44)=975.52but this is the height from one meter up so you have to add 1 to get 976.52.

or the second one if we call the distance d, then cos(44)=d / 1400 or d=1400cos(44)=1007
