Distance Tan
1. The problem asks us to evaluate the expression $$d=\frac{h}{\tan(23.6^\circ)}$$ where $h$ is a variable and $23.6^\circ$ is the angle in degrees.
2. Recall that $$\tan(\theta)$$ is the tangent of angle $$\theta$$ measured in degrees. To find $$d$$, we divide $$h$$ by the tangent of $$23.6^\circ$$.
3. Using a calculator or trigonometric table, find $$\tan(23.6^\circ)\approx 0.4362$$.
4. Substitute this value back into the expression:
$$d=\frac{h}{0.4362}$$.
5. Simplify the division:
$$d \approx 2.292h$$.
6. Therefore, the distance $$d$$ is approximately $$2.292$$ times the height $$h$$.
