Answer:

124.3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve the above question using the Trigonometric function of Tangent

= tan θ = Opposite/Adjacent

θ = Angle of Elevation = 73°

Adjacent = 38 ft

Opposite = x

Hence

tan 73° = x/38 ft

Cross Multiply

x = tan 73° × 38 ft

x = 124.2923995 ft

Approximately = 124.3 ft

Therefore, Nick is 124.3 ft from the ground.
