Aperson whose eye level is 20 feet above the ground is looking at a building. the angle of elevation to the top of the building is 31º and the angle of depression to the bottom of the building is 24∘. what is the height (in feet) of the building? round your answer to the nearest foot.

Distance of the person from the building (x)

tan 24 = 20/x => x = 20/tan 24 = 44.92 ft

The height of the building above the height of the person and the distance of the person from the building forms two legs of right angled triangle.

Therefore, if h is the height of the building, then;
tan 31 = (h-20)/44.92
h-20 = 44.92 tan 31
h = (44.92 tan 31) + 20 = 26.99 + 20 = 46.99 ft

1. 8 or -82. 14 or -143. -11, -3, 0, 7, 10

The variables should add up to equal 1
