Answer 1

A person is standing at a distance of 80m from a church looking at its top. The angle of elevation is of 45°.

height of church = 80 m

person is standing at a distance of 80m

so base = 80 m

Angle of elevation = 45°

Tan θ = Perpendicular / Base

=> Tan 45° = Height of church / Distance from Church

=> 1 = Height of church / 80

=> Height of church = 80 m

Answer 2

Answer:

80 m

Step-by-step explanation:

tan 45=opp/adj

1 =80m/adj

by ctoss multiplication we get

• adj = 80m
