An antenna is atop the roof of a 100 foot building, 10 feet from the the edge, as shown in the figure below. From a point 50 feet from the base of the building, the angle from ground level to the top is 66°. Find x, the height of the antenna, to the nearest foot.

I tried to search this questions on the internet, but I could not find the answer. Also I can not provide the figure. I hope, the information given above, will be enough information to answer this question. Thank you.

I think it must be the right triangle so
x=height of the antenna
tan(66)=x/50
x=50*tan(66)
x=1.33 ft
->the height of the antenna = 1.33 ft
hope it is the correct answer because you didn't provided me enough information.
