The leaning tower of Pisa was originally perpendicular to the ground and 179 feet tall. Because of sinking into the earth, it now leans at a certain angle ? from the perpendicular. When the top of the tower is viewed from a point 150 feet from the center of its base, the angle of elevation is 53 degrees. Solve using law of sines.
A) Approximate the angle ?.
b) Approximate the distance d that the center of the top of the tower has moved from the perpendicular.
