Trigonometry can be used to determine the height of a cell phone tower by using SOH CAH TOA or the Pythagorean theorem. If you look at it as a right triangle you can figure out how tall the tower is. If an angle is given (not a 90°angle) and the value of a side you can figure out all of the sides on the theoretical right triangle. Including the height of the tower.
Answer:
180000
Step-by-step explanation:
30600/17=1800
1800•100=180000
51 + 3x+5 = 107
Simplify the left side:
3x + 56 = 107
Subtract 56 from both sides:
3x = 51
Divide both sides by 3:
x = 51 / 3
x = 17
Angle F and the outside angle of 107, need to equal 180 degrees.
F - 180 - 107 = 73 degrees.
