Solve the Triangle Trig

A tourist views a deer from a height of 45 feet.  The horizontal distance between the tourist and the deer is 130 feet.  At what angle (x) should the tourist hold his camera to photograph the deer? Round your answer to the nearest degree.  

• 19 degrees

• 45 degrees

• 71 degrees

• 138 degrees 

Set up the problem so that you can solve for X.

• sin X = 41/28

• tan X = 41/28

• cos X = 28/41

• sin X = 28/41
