Answer 1

Answer:

7361.56 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of the tower = 906 yards

Mauricio's height = 2 yards

Angle of elevation = $7^{o}$

Let the distance between Mauricio and the base of the tower be represented by x.

The difference between the height of tower and Mauricio's height = 906 - 2

                                               = 904 yards

So that applying the appropriate trigonometric function, we have;

Tan θ = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

Tan $7^{o}$  = $\frac{904}{x}$

0.1228 = $\frac{904}{x}$

x = $\frac{904}{0.1228}$

  = 7361.5635

x = 7361.56 yards

The distance between Mauricio and the base of the tower is 7361.56 yards.
