Computing the height of the building.
Solve the following application problem.
A.A man at ground level measures the angle of elevation to the top of a building to be 530. If, at this point, he is 12 feet from the building, what is the height of the building? Draw a picture, show all work, and find the solution. Round to the nearest hundredths.
B.The same man now stands atop a building. He measures the angle of elevation to the building across the street to be 200 and the angle of depression (to the base of the building) to be 350.
If the two buildings are 50 feet apart, how tall is the taller building? See the figure. Round to the nearest hundredths.
