Answer 1

Answer:-

$\boxed{\huge \text{182 feet}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the next tallest rider be t feet

Since the 260-foot-tall ride is 78 feet taller than the next tallest;

That means t = 260 - 78 = 182 feet



Therefore, the height of the second tallest ride in the park = 182 feet.
