Question

. Megan is standing 300ft from the Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower is 900 ft tall.

Answer 1

Answer:

Solution :-

Angle required = Height of Eiffel Tower/Megan standing place × arctan

=> (900/300) × arctan

=> 3 × arctan

=> 3arctan

=> 71.6⁰

Hence,

Angle = 71.6⁰

Answer 2

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  about 71.6°

Step-by-step explanation:

The relevant trig function is ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

Here, the "opposite" side of the right triangle is the height of the tower. The "adjacent" side is the distance to the tower. Then if the angle is x, we have ...

  tan(x) = 900/300 = 3

  x = arctan(3) ≈ 71.6°

Megan's angle of elevation is about 71.6°.
