Hello all,
Thank you again for the help on the last one, it helped loads. This one is on plane trig and I'm finding it a bit tricky, please help!
Q. A vertical mast stands on horizontal ground. A man, posioned due west of the mast, finds the elevation of the top to be 51(degrees) 5(mins). He moves due south 20.0m and finds the elevation to be 47(degrees) 19(mins). Calculate the height of the mast?
I've worked with cosine and sine rule, but I think this is Tan.
yours faithfully
