Suppose that you are headed toward a plateau 25.1 meters high. If the angle of elevation to the top of the plateau is 16.5, how far are you from the base of the plateau? meters (Round your answer to the nearest tenth.)
we have that
tan(16.5)=25.1/x
x is the missing distance
solve for x
x=25.1/tan(16.5)
x=84.7 m
