Solution:
A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three angles. Types of triangles are scalene, acute, obtuse, isosceles, equilateral and right angled triangle.
A right angled triangle is a triangle with one angle equal to 90 degrees. The longest side of a right angled triangle is known as the hypotenuse. Trigonometric identities is used to show the relationship between the angles and sides of a right angled triangle, i.e.:
sinθ = opposite/hypotenuse; cosθ = adjacent / hypotenuse; tanθ = opposite / adjacent
From the image:
let the distance from jack to the base of the building be x, hence:
tan60 = x / 60
x = 60 * tan60 = 104 ft.
