Answer:

The height of the Eiffel Tower will be 318 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please check the attached graph.

From the diagram, it is clear that Lizbeth is 5.5 ft tall, seeing the top from 318 feet away, making an angle of elevation to be 72⁰.

The diagram makes a right-angled triangle.

  • Given the angle = Ф = 72⁰
  • Adjacent = a = 5.5 ft
  • Opposite = b = 318 ft
  • Hypotenuse = the height of the Eiffel Tower = c ?

Pythagorean Theorem:

For a right-angled triangle, with sides 'a' and 'b', the hypotenuse 'c' is defined as:

c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}

  • a=5.5
  • b=318

c=\sqrt{5.5^2+318^2}

c=318 feet

Therefore, the height of the Eiffel Tower will be 318 feet.
