Answer:
The goal post is 40.05 feet tall.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you need to decide whether to use sin, tan or cos.
You have the angle, the adjacent and need the opposite , so you need to find out which one has all three values in
Sin [tex]s = \frac{o}{h}[/tex]
Cos [tex]c = \frac{a}{h}[/tex]
Tan [tex]st = \frac{o}{a}[/tex]
So you need to use tan.
Tan = opposite / adjacent, so rearrange the formula to make opposite the subject:
[tex]Opp = Tan * adj
So simply plug these values in:
[tex]Opp =131 * tan(17) = 40.05
So the goal post is 40.05 feet tall!
Hope this helps!
