Question

At a point 125 feet from the base of a building, the angle of elevation to the third floor is 22°. What is the height of the third floor?A 53.9 feetB 14,124 feetC. 50.5 feetD. 333.3 feet

Answer 1

From the problem statement, we can draw the triangle shows below:

H is the height of the building we will solve for.
