You are standing 167 feet away from the base of a building and your clinometer measures 25° when it's looking at the top of the building. (This angle is the one between the ground and the top of the building). Please calculate the height of the building,

Respuesta :

[tex]\begin{gathered} \tan (25)=\frac{height\text{ of the building}}{167} \\ height\text{ of the building=}\tan (25)\cdot167 \\ height\text{ of the building}=0.466\cdot167 \\ height\text{ of the building}=77.8 \\ height\text{ of the building is 77.8 f}eet \end{gathered}[/tex]
