Scarlett is trying to find the height of a dam. she stands 90 meters away from the dam and records the angle of elevation to the top of the dam to be 26º.
scarlett's height is 1.65 meters, so the height of the dam is
meters.

Height of the dam is 45.45 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the attached figure, AB is the height of dam NM is Scarlett's height. We have to find the height of the dam. NM = CB = 1.65 m

Using trigonometric equations as:

AC = 43.8 m

So, the height of the dam is AC + CB = 43.8 m + 1.65 m = 45.45 m

Hence, the height of the dam is 45.45 meter.

add all the numbers and check the ones place.

the answer is 486. as the ones place is more than 4, the estimation will be the next 10 ie, 490
