¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø Answer ¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø

a. 85 (?)

b. 39 meters

¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø Explanation ¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø

tan40° = k/46

46(tan40°) = k

38.5986.. = k

39 = k

Karen's Building is 39 meters tall.

tan50° = p/39

39(tan50°) = p

46.4784.. = p

46 m = p

Patrick's building is 46 meters tall.

39 + 46 = 85 meters

Both buildings are 85 meters apart.
