A man standing 200m from the base of a television transmitter looks up and notices that the angle of elevation of the top of the transmitter is 65 degrees. How high is the tower?
We need the tangent here
tan(65°) = opp/200 multiply both sides by 200
200tan (65°) = opp = ht of tower = about 429m
Great answer, CPhill! I will give you 1 point for that! ( I could give you more if I could )
