Respuesta :

Answer: Option 'C' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Distance between dam  to the angle of elevation = 115 m

Angle of elevation = 50°

We need to find the "Height of river dam":

We will use "Trigonometric Ratio":

[tex]\tan 50^\circ=\frac{Perpendicular}{Base}\\\\\tan 50^\circ=\frac{Height}{115}\\\\115\tan 50^\circ=Height\\\\137.05\ m=Height[/tex]

Hence, Option 'C' is correct.

Answer:

115 tan 50
