. _________________| In both cases, the base of the triangle is 200 ft. The height of the dotted triangle is given as sin(18) * 200 = 61.80 The height of the comma triangle is given as sin(15) * 200 = 51.76 The top of the tower is represented by the dotted triangle, so it is 61.80ft above our observation point The bottom of the tower is represented by the comma triangle, so it is 51.76ft above our observation point. The height of the tower is the difference between these heights. 61.80 - 51.76 = 10.04ft The tower is a massive 10ft tall!
It can be shown that:height = (d tan α tan β)/(tan α - tan β)where: α is the angle closest to the objectβ is the angle further away from the objectd is the distance from the point of angle α to the point of angle βThus: height = (40 ft × tan 50° × tan 30°)/(tan 50° - tan 30°) ≈ 44.80 ft
To measure an angle: # Align the bottom line of the protractor with one ray of the angle being measured. # Center the central point along the bottom of the protractor with the junction of the angle being measured. # Find where the other ray of the angle crosses the rounded part of the protractor. The numbered mark at which it crosses is the number of degrees of the angle being measured.
Using trigonometry and the sine ratio the distance is 959 meters to the nearest meter.
A vector of 13 acting on O at an angle of 60 degrees.
A normal kite with string tension between the two wings usually has only two equal angles. These two wing angles could be exactly ninety degrees, for example.The anterior angle (at the bottom where the cloth tail would be attached) is usually less than 90 degrees (an acute angle) and the lead angle (at the top or highest point) is usually greater than 90 degrees (an obtuse angle).
If the base of the elevation is at a distance d from the observer, then the highest point is at a height = d*tan(angle of elevation)
It can be shown that:height = (d tan α tan β)/(tan α - tan β)where: α is the angle closest to the objectβ is the angle further away from the objectd is the distance from the point of angle α to the point of angle βThus: height = (80 ft × tan 45° × tan 34°)/(tan 45° - tan 34°) ≈ 165.78 ft
It is an indicator that the angle formed at that point is a right angle (90 degrees).The small square at the crossing point of two perpendicular lines serves to indicate that the two lines indeed form an angle of 90 degrees.
The question is not quite clear but if the angle of elevation is 26 degrees at a distance of 165 feet away from the building then its height is 80.47587711 feet. 165*tan(26) = 80.47587711 feet
If I understand the question, then it includes a false statement.The angle between an object and the horizon is the object's 'elevation' angle.'Zenith' is a point in the sky . . . the point directly over your head, whoseelevation angle is 90 degrees regardless of which direction you're facing..
It can be shown that:height = (d tan α tan β)/(tan α - tan β)where: α is the angle closest to the objectβ is the angle further away from the objectd is the distance from the point of angle α to the point of angle βThus: height = (40 ft × tan 50° × tan 30°)/(tan 50° - tan 30°) ≈ 44.80 ft
It can be shown that:height = (d tan α tan β)/(tan α - tan β)where: α is the angle closest to the objectβ is the angle further away from the objectd is the distance from the point of angle α to the point of angle βThus: height = (53 ft × tan 31.4° × tan 26.4°)/(tan 31.4° - tan 26.4°) ≈ 140.87 ft

An angle is the point where two lines meet. A point on a straight line is an "angle" of 180 degrees, so a point at the end of a line might possibly be termed a 0 degree angle, but if it's only 1 line then there isn't really an angle.
Angle DCE is an angle where point D and E are the ends and point C is where both meet to form an angle. The degrees of the angle can be found with a protractor.
