if a staircase rises 52° from the ground and a vertical distance of 12 yards. How much horizontal distance does the staircase cover? Round to the nearest tenth.
The horizontal distance will be found using the formula: tan θ= opposite/adjacent given that θ=52° opposite= 12 yards adjacent=x hence tan 52=12/x x=12/tan 52 x=9.3754 the height is 9.375 yards
