The angle of elevation to the top of a skyscraper is measured to be 2° from a point on the ground 1 mile from the building. how tall is the skyscraper?

See picture below for a geometric view.

Let x = height of building

We use basic trigonometry to find x.

The tangent function = opposite side of right triangle OVER adjacent side of right triangle.

tan(2°) = x/1

Solve for x.

After multiplying both sides by 1 (here 1 represents 1 mile), we get

tan(2°) = x.

We now use the calculator to find x.

In fact, you can take it from here. Use your calculator.

sss (side, side, side)

sas (side, angle, side)

asa (angle, side, angle)

aas (angle, angle, side)

hl (hypotenuse, leg)

the equation cos(35) =a/25 can be used to find the length of bc what is the length of bc? round to the nearest tenth
