Question 748840: A girl is standing 200 feet away from a building. Looking up at the building from the ground at an angle of elevation of 36°, she sees a bird at the top of the building. What is the height, from the ground, to the top of the building ( in feet) ( round to the nearest tenth.) Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Trigonometric ratio
tan = opposite/adjacent
tan 36 = opposite/200
Opposite = 200 x tan36
= 145 feet
Height = 145 feet
