Algebra.Com's Answer #802746 by Boreal(15235)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Second choice. \n" ); document.write( "Draw this and the building that is further away is taller if they both have the same angle of elevation. \n" ); document.write( "tan 40=height/120 for A and height = 120 tan 40 or 100.69 feet \n" ); document.write( "and same divided by 60 for B and height is 60 tan 40 or 50.34 feet \n" ); document.write( " |
