Answer:

105 feet

Explanation:

Given following:

  • angle opposite to the height and adjacent to the base is 59°
  • the length of base (adjacent) is 63 ft
  • the height of the building (opposite) is missing

In this case, we will use tan formula from trigonometry.


\sf tan(x) = (opposite)/(adjacent) (where x is the value of angle made)


\sf tan(59) = (opposite)/(63)


\sf opposite = 63tan(59)=104.85 = 105 \ ft
