What function to use and how to use it
1 answer:
That's the wrong right triangle to draw. Reading the problem carefully we want this one, figure attached.
So we have the usual 30/60/90 triangle but not to scale. The sides come in ratio 1:√3:2=x:100:hypotenuse. So
x = 100/√3 ≈ 57.735
We add that to our 133.2 for the total height of the Cyclone, 190.935.
Answer: 190.9
