How Far away from a building are you standing if you know the building is 295' high and the angle of elevation to the top of the building is 65 degrees?
and i dont know how to find the answer. Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
The cotangent of an angle is equal to the measure of the adjacent side divided by the measure of the opposite side.
So:
Make sure your calculator is in Degrees mode. By the way, since the measure of the height of the building is given to whole number precision, your answer should be expressed to no greater precision, that is, it should be rounded to the nearest foot.
