The height of the building is: 86.61m
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The question is illustrated with the attached image
Required
Find h
To solve for h, we apply tangent formula i.e.
[tex]\tan(\theta) = \frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}[/tex]
This gives:
[tex]\tan(60) = \frac{h}{50}[/tex]
Make h the subject
[tex]h = 50 * \tan(60)[/tex]
[tex]\tan(60) = \sqrt 3[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]h = 50 * \sqrt 3[/tex]
[tex]h = 50 * 1.7321[/tex]
[tex]h = 86.61m[/tex]
