Answer:
C. 185 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The work is in the attached picture file, if you need it. Basically the question sets up a right triangle, for which the base is 200 and the height is the goal that you are solving for. It is given that the angle between hypotenuse and base is 42 degrees. For this you use tangent to say that
tan(42) = h / 200
200 tan (42) = h
h = 180 feet.
But then you must remember that this triangle starts 5 feet off of the ground. So you add the 5 feet and get 185 feet as the height of the tower.
Note: complementary angles are two angles whose sum is 90⁰
(x - 8)^2 = 144
take the sq rt of both sides
x - 8 = 12
x = 12 + 8
x = 20
20 feet by 20 feet
