Question 1004151: you are standing at the top of a 500m tall building. across the street is a shorter building. at ground level, the two buildings are 50 meters apart, and if you measure the angle of depression from the top of your building to the nearest edge of the shorter building, you get an angle of pi/6. how tall is the other building?
a) 500 - 50 sqrt 2 meters
b) 500 - 50/sqrt 2 meters
c) 500 - 25/sqrt 2 meters
d) 500-50/sqrt 3 meters
e) 500 - 25 sqrt 2 meters
