9. GEOGRAPHY Diego used a theodolite to map a region of land for his
class in geomorphology. To determine the elevation of a vertical rock
formation, he measured the distance from the base of the formation to
his position and the angle between the ground and the line of sight to the
top of the formation. The distance was 43 meters and the angle was
36°. What is the height of the formation to the nearest meter?
