Answer: tan(70)=x/800

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are looking at the altitude and x and 800 are given, we will need tangent. Tangent is opposite/adjacent. We can eliminate sin(70). Between our 2 tangent choices, the answer is tan(70)=x/800. Tan(70)=800/x is very close but incorrect. 800/x is adjacent/opposite. That is not a trigonometric function. We are looking for opposite/adjacent.
