Answer:
height of the tower is 48.7 feet
Explanation:
The shadow of a vertical tower is 75.0 ft long when the angle of elevation of the sun is 33.0 degrees
Shadow and vertical tower forms a right angle triangle
let x be the height of the tower
base of the triangle is the shadow
[tex]tan(theta)= \frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex]
[tex]tan(33)=\frac{x}{75}[/tex]
[tex]75 tan(33)=x[/tex]
[tex]x=48.7 feet[/tex]
