An observer, who is standing 47 m from a building, measures the angle of elevation of the top of the building as 30˚. If the observer’s eye is 167 cm from the ground, what is the exact height of the building?

9514 1404 393

  28.81 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent relation can help find the height of the building above the observer's eye.

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

  Opposite = Adjacent·Tan

  above eye height = (47 m)(tan 30°) ≈ 27.14 m

Adding this to the eye height gives the height of the building above the ground where the observer is standing.

  27.14 m + 1.67 m = 28.81 m

The height of the building to the nearest centimeter is 28.81 meters.

$450.00 for 6 weeks

or

$300

step-by-step explanation:

$200.00 for first week $50.00 x5 equals $250 plus $200 equals $450.00 for six weeks.

$200 for first week

$200 x 0.10 = $20

$20 x 5 = $100

$200 + $100 = $300
