The original height of the leaning tower of pisa was 184 1/2 feet. at a distance of 140 feet from the base of the tower, the angle of elevation from the ground to the top of the tower is 59°. how far is the tower leaning from the original vertical position?

Tower is leaning by 9.6° from it's vertical position.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached AB represents the leaning tower with the original height 184.5 feet.

From a point C which is 140 feet apart angle of elevation of the top of the tower is 59°.

We have to find the angle x by which tower AB is leaning from the original vertical position.

By sine rule in triangle ABC.

sinA =

A =

A = 40.57°

Since ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

40.57 + ∠B + 59 = 180

99.57 + ∠B = 180

∠B = 180 - 99.57

∠B = 80.43°

Now we have to calculate the measure of ∠x .

Since ∠x = 90° - ∠B

∠x = 90 - 80.43

    = 9.57°≈ 9.6°

Therefore, Tower is leaning by 9.6° from it's vertical position.

step-by-step explanation:

if you want to solve percent error follow these steps.

1. subtract the accepted value from the experimental value.

2. take the absolute value of step 1.

3. divide that answer by the accepted value.

4. multiply that answer by 100 and add the % symbol to express the answer as a percentage.

if you want to solve percent of change just do this.

1. work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

2. divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. if your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage decrease.

hope this : )
