A water tower 30 m tall is located at the top of the hill. From the distance 120m down the hill, that the angle formed between the top and the base of the tower is 8°. Find the inclination of the hill?
This problem could also be tackled by the application of trigonometric ratios. The hill will be inclined at approximately 48° to the horizontal (the ground). The picture represents the solution to the problem.
