the leaning tower of pisa in italy makes an angle of 86 degrees with the ground. a person standing on the ground approximately 82 feet from the tower at an angle of 69 degrees. how tall is the tower?
we know that in the triangle ABC ∠A+∠B+∠C=180° ∠C=180-(86+69)-----> ∠C=25° Applying the law of sines b/sin B=c/sin C------> b=c*sin B/sin C-----> b=82*sin 69/sin 25 b=181.14 ft
