A point on the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa is shifted about 13.5 ft horizontally compared to the tower's base. To the nearest degree, how many degrees does the tower tilt from vertical?​

Answer:

[tex]4.15^0.[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Leaning Tower of Pisa is shifted, P = 13.5 ft

Height of Leaning Tower of Pisa, B = 186 ft

Now, degree of tilt of the tower from vertical

[tex]\tan \theta = \dfrac{P}{B}[/tex]

[tex]\tan \theta = \dfrac{13.5}{186}[/tex]

[tex]\tan \theta = 0.0725[/tex]

[tex]\theta = 4.15^\circ[/tex]

Hence, angle of tilt is equal to [tex]4.15^0.[/tex]
