Mai is visiting Paris to see the Eiffel Tower. She is 80 feet away when she spots it. To see the top, she has to look up at an angle of 85.7 degrees. How tall is the Eiffel Tower to the nearest foot?
The picture shows how this would look as a triangle. In this case, we would use tan. x is the opposite side, and 80 is adjacent. tan(85.7) = x/80 13.299.. = x/80 x = 1,064 feet
