Given,
The angle of elevation from the beach to the top of the cliff = 32°
Length of the beach from the cliff = 200 yards
To find,
The height of the cliff.
Solution,
We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process.
Here,we have to use trigonometry.
Height/Base = tan ∅
Height/200 = tan 32° (putting the values)
Height/200 = 0.625
Height = 0.625×200
Height = 125
Hence, the approximate height of the cliff is 125 yards.
