howard is standing 91 yards from the bottom of a water reservoir. he estimates that the angle of elevation to the top of the water reservoir is about 50°. about how far is howard from the top of the water reservoir?
a.
58 yards
b.
119 yards
c.
142 yards
d.
76 yards

142 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached diagram.

Let the reservoir is AC and Howard is standing at B and AB = 91 yards.

Now, the angle of elevation from B to the top of the reservoir C is 50°.

Then using trigonometry,

⇒ ≈ 142 yards.

Therefore, the distance of Howard from the top of the reservoir is 142 yards. (Answer)

b
