Question

The students in Mr. Collin’s class used a surveyor’s measuring device to find the angle from their location to the top of a building. They also measured their distance from the bottom of the building. The diagram shows the angle measure and the distance. To the nearest foot, find the height of the building. 105 ft, 116 ft, 32 ft, 54 ft

Answer 1

you are looking for the height of the building--so you are going to have to use a trig function that involves the side OPPOSITE the anglee 72. which one do you think that you need to use considering that the question gives you the length of the side adlacent to hte angle?

Answer 2

tan 72=heght/100

Answer 3

se calculator to find tan 72. that will be a number. set the number + height/100. than solve

Answer 4

set the calculator sorry

Answer 5

Where are you getting 72 and100? The angle is 59 degrees and the distance is 63 ft.

Answer 6

tan 59 = 1.66
