Question

Nicole is looking up at a 66° angle to the top of a cell phone tower that is 151 ft tall. How far away is she from the base of the tower? Round to the nearest hundredth. A. 45.43 ft
B. 64.38 ft
C. 67.23 ft
D. 78.98 ft

Answer 1

Tan(angle) = opposite leg / adjacent leg

tan(66) = 151 / adjacent leg

adjacent leg = 151 / tan(66)

adjacent leg = 67.23 feet

The answer is C.
