You can put this solution on YOUR website!

\n" ); document.write( "This situation can be represented by a right triangle with hypoteneuse = 220. To find the height of the building use the sin:
\n" ); document.write( "\"sin%2863%29=h%2F220\"
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for h:
\n" ); document.write( "\".89=h%2F220\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"h=195.8\"
\n" ); document.write( "Rounding to nearest foot:
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28h=196%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "==============
