<em><u>Question:</u></em>
Set up a right triangle model for this problem and solve by using a calculator. Follow the models above,
A photographer stands 60 yards from the base of a lighthouse and observes that the angle between the ground and the top of the lighthouse is 41° How tall is the lighthouse?
<em><u>Answer:</u></em>
The height of lighthouse is 52.2 yards
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that photographer stands 60 yards from the base of a lighthouse and observes that the angle between the ground and the top of the lighthouse is 41 degree
The diagram is attached below
Consider a right angled triangle ABC
AB is the height of the lighthouse
BC is the distance between the base of a lighthouse and Photographer
As per given, BC = 60 yards
Angle between the ground and the top of the lighthouse is 41 degree
Angle ACB = 41 degree
To find: height of lighthouse i.e AB = ?
We know that,
Here Base is BC and perpendicular is AB
Substituting the values,
Thus the height of lighthouse is 52.2 yards
First, split the triangle into half.
So the angle 38 becomes 38/2=19.
So we know two angles in the triangle:
One is 19 degrees.
The other one is 90 degrees (marked red).
The angles in a right-angled triangle add up to 180 degrees.
So to find the x angle, we calculate it by:
180 - (90+19) = 71
(the sum of three angles) - (the sum of the two known angles) = unknown angle
So x = 71 degrees.
