A monument is 192m in height, your line of sight with the top of the arch is 2 degrees above the horizontal?

Question

How far away is the monument???

How do I calculate this

Answer 1

tan (2 degrees) = 192/x

x = 192/tan(2 degrees)

x  = 5498.16063 m

Answer 2

Your eye is on the horizonal and the base of the monument is x meters away.  The top of the monument is 192 m from the horizontal.

Draw this.  Now you look up 2 deg and you see the top.  Draw this.  Now you have a right triangle so that

tan 2 deg = side opposite/side adjacent = 192 m/x

x = 192 m/(tan 2 degrees) this is the answer

Answer 3

no way lol i just loooked on her for some reason my paper has the same question on it

Answer 4

tan(2degrees) = 192/distance to the monument

distance to the monument = 192/tan(2 degrees)

It's a triangle :)
