Question 432029
Andy measured the angle between the base of the building and the top of the
 building and recieved a reading of 0.5 degrees. 
If andy was 5000 feet from the base of the building when the measurment was made, how high was the building? 
:
We can use the tangent of .5 degrees, side opposite (ht of building)/side adjcent (5000ft)
:
tan(.5) = {{{h/5000}}}
.00873 = {{{h/5000}}}
h = .00873 * 5000
h = 43.63 ft is the height of the building
