Scarlett is trying to find the height of a dam. She stands 90 meters away from the dam and records the angle of elevation to the top of the dam to be 26º.
Scarlett's height is 1.65 meters, so what is the hight of the dam
The height of a dam: h = x + 1.65 m, where: x = 90 m · tan 26° x = 90 · 0.4877 x = 43.90 h = 43.90 m + 1.65 m = 45.55 m Answer: The height of the dam is 45.5 m.
