Problema Solution
The angle of elevation of the top of a building from a point on the ground 81.8 yd from its base is 29.4°. How high is the building?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let 'h' represent the height of the building.
tan(29.4) = h/81.8
h = 81.8*tan(29.4)
h = 46.1 yd
The height of the building is 46.1 yards.
