Question 587438
If Jim is 25 feet away from a building that is 500 feet tall. He looks toward the top of the building from ground level. Determine the size of the angle between the street and the top of the building.
-----------------
Draw the picture.
You have a right triangle with base = 25' and height = 500'
-------
angle = arctan(500/25) = 87.14 degrees
