The height of the ceiling is 162.31 meters
The situation will form a right angle triangle.
<h3>Right angle triangle:</h3>
Right triangle has one of its angles as 90 degree. Therefore, the sides can be found using trigonometric ratios
The triangle formed, the theodolite distance from the spotlight is the adjacent side. Therefore,
tan 62.7 = opposite / adjacent
tan 62.7 = x / 83
cross multiply
x = 83 × tan 62.7
x = 160.809554025 m
Therefore, the height of the ceiling form the ground is as follows:
- 160.809554025 + 1.5 = 162.309554025 m
