Answer: height = 13.24 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Draw a picture (see image below), then set up the proportions to find the length of QB. Then input QB into either of the equations to find h.
Given: PQ = 10
∠TPB = 23°
∠TQB = 32°
[tex]\tan P=\dfrac{opposite}{adjacent}\qquad \qquad \tan Q=\dfrac{opposite}{adjacent}\\\\\\\tan 23^o=\dfrac{h}{10+x}\qquad \qquad \tan 32^o=\dfrac{h}{x}\\\\\\\underline{\text{Solve each equation for h:}}\\\tan 23^o(10+x)=h\qquad \qquad \tan 32^o(x)=h\\\\\\\underline{\text{Set the equations equal to each other and solve for x:}}\\\tan23^o(10+x)=\tan32^o(x)\\0.4245(10+x)=0.6249x\\4.245+0.4245x=0.6249x\\4.245=0.2004x\\21.18=x[/tex]
[tex]\underline{\text{In put x = 21.18 into either equation and solve for h:}}\\h=\tan 32^o(x)\\h=0.6249(2.118)\\\large\boxed{h=13.24}[/tex]
