Question

Q5 Q3.) How​ far, to the nearest​ foot, is the ship from the​ statue's base?

Answer 1

tan(angle of elevation) = height / distance from base

so tan(29.5) = 305 / distance from base
distance from base = 305/tan(29.5)
= 539.09 = 539 feet

Answer 2

distance from base = 305 / tan(29.5deg)
= 539ft
