1 answer:
Answer:
71.764 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
See attached the rough sketch for your reference
Step one;
Given data
The angle of elevation= 25°
From the triangular diagram, we can see that the height of the church is the opposite, while the distance of the person from the church is the adjacent
Step two:
Applying SOH CAH TOA
tan∅= opp/adj
tan 25= opp/154
0.466= opp/154
cross multiply
0.466*154= opp
opp= height of church = 71.764 feet
