Answer:

The height of the cloud cover is 441.66 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = 560 m

The height of the cloud cover = h meters

According to the diagram, the worker stands at point R,

Let RT = x

tan 45⁰ = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{h}{x}

therefore, 1 =  \frac{h}{x}, h = x

Then tan 75⁰ = \frac{h}{560-x}, substituting x = h, we have

3.732 = \frac{h}{560-h}

3.732(560 - h) =  h

3.732 × 560 = 3.732h + h

2089.92 = 4.732h

h = 441.66 m
