Question

From the top of an apartmènt building, the angle of depression to a car parked on the street below is 36°. The

car is parked 90 feet from the base of the building. Find the height of the building to the nearest whole
number of feet.

Answer 1

697.5 ft

Explanation:

by the concept of equal alternate angels across a traversal, the angle near the car will be 36°

tan 36° = x/90

x= tan 36 * 90 = 697.5 ft
