Answer:

7.

the buildings are 726.67 feet apart

8.

distance between zack and water fountain = 140.98 feet

Explanation:

angle of depression is defined by the formula:

tan y = height of the observer /

horizontal distance between the object and the observer

7.

according to the conditions given in the question:

let x be the distance between the buildings

tan 42 = 654 / x

x * tan 42 = 654

x = 654/.900 = 726.67 feet

8.

according to the conditions given in the question:

let x be the distance between zack and water fountain

tan 28 = 75 / x

x * tan 28 = 75

x = 75/.532 = 140.98 feet
