Answer:
100m
Step-by-step explanation:
x=the height of the tower
100m=the distance from the tower
45 degrees the angle of elevation
Drawing a diagram allows you to see that you can form a 'right-angled triangle'.
Using trig. :
Tan 45=x/100m
multiply both sides by 100m
100m*tan 45=100m
Answer:
[tex]\Huge \boxed{\mathrm{100 \ meters}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The base of the right triangle created is 100 meters.
The angle between the base and the hypotenuse of the right triangle is 45 degrees.
We can use trigonometric functions to solve for the height of the tower.
[tex]\displaystyle \mathrm{tan(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent} }[/tex]
Let the height be x.
[tex]\displaystyle \mathrm{tan(45)}=\frac{x}{100}[/tex]
Multiplying both sides by 100.
[tex]\displaystyle 100 \cdot \mathrm{tan(45)}=x[/tex]
[tex]100=x[/tex]
The height of the tower is 100 meters.
