    Tennis and Math

    Here is a puzzle for everyone out there:

    What is the height of the apex of the building?
    If it is 39 feet from the net and it is 38 degrees from the ground to the apex;
    and the person is 5'10"

    thanks

      39 feet * tan(39) = 36 feet (the apex of a tennis court).

      If anyone ever needs to measure the height of their indoor tennis courts
