Question

If the height of the building is 250 feet and the sun makes a 49 degree angle with the ground as shown in the image below, what is the distance from the top of a building to the tip of its shadow?

Answer 1

Hello,

tan C=AB/BC==>BC=tan 49° * 250=287,59210... (feet)

sin C=AB/AC==>AC=250/sin 49°=331,253248... (feet)
