Answer:

8.95feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The set up is a right angled triangle where;

The camera's horizontal distance from the focus point = 26feet = Adjacent;

The height of the camera above the floor = Opposite = x

Angle of elevation = 19°

According to TOA in trig identity;

Tan theta = opp/adj

Tan 19 = x/26

x = 26tan 19

x = 26(0.3443)

X = 8.95feet

Hence the camera is placed at a height of 8.95feet above the floor
