Question 1146046: From a point on level ground, the angles of elevation of the top and the bottom of an antenna standing on top of a building are 33.8˚ and 26.0˚, respectively. If the building is 134 ft. high, how tall is the antenna?
Round the answer to one decimal place.
The antenna is

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you draw and label the picture, one of your triangles would be like this description:

Points T, B, G
Top, bottom, ground

y=TB
h=BG
angle BTG measures 56.2 degree
angle BGT measures 7.8 degree
angle TBG measures 180-56.2-7.8 degree
h=134%2Fsin%2826%29


Use Law Of Sines to find y.
