Steve is looking up at Godzilla with an angle of elevation of 49 degrees. If Steve is 400 feet away, how tall is Godzilla to the nearest foot?

Respuesta :

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  460 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent relates the measures to the angle:

  tan(angle of elevation) = (Godzilla height)/(distance away)

  tan(49°) = (Godzilla height)/(400 ft)

  Godzilla height = (400 ft)(tan(49°)) ≈ 460 ft

Godzilla is 460 feet tall.

Answer:

godzilla is 393 foot tall
