WPP #12: Unit O Concept 10: Angles of Elevation and Depression

Kim Nana decided to go surfing since she closed the coffee shop for the day. She gets on her surfboard and begins riding a wave when she notices a larger wave in front of her. She measures the angle of elevation to the wave in front of her to be 38* and the angle of depression (the very bottom of the wave) to 42*8'. If she is 80 feet away from this wave, how tall is the taller wave in front of her? Round to the nearest foot

Please remember to try to do the problem on your own before looking at the pictures.
