A famous leaning tower was originally 186.5 feet high. At a distance of 128 feet from the base of the tower, the angle of elevation to the top of the tower is found to be 68°. Find ZRPQ indicated in the figure. Also find the perpendicular distance from R to PQ. 186.5 ft 68° 128 ft ZRPQ =° (Round the final answer to one decimal place as needed. Round all intermediate values to four decimal places as needed.) The perpendicular distance from R to PQ is feet. (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
