Question

A building casts a 33 m shadow when the Sun is at an angle of 26. to the vertical. How tall is the the building, to the nearest meter? Use a trigonometric ratio to find the distance FE.

Answer 1

so basically we just us do this

tan(26)=33/FE

Multiply to get rid of fraction

tan(26)FE=33

divide to get FE alone

FE = tan(26) * 33

FE=16.0951m

so it should be 16.0951m
