Question

Find the height of the building below by using your knowledge of trigonometry.

Answer 1

50
`√(3)`

Explanation:

The figure represents a 30-60-90 special triangle

in this special right triangle the measure of sides lengths is represented by

a, a
`√(3)`, and 2a

The side length that sees angle measure 30 is represented by a and here we see a = 50m

The height of the building, which sees angle measure 60, is equal to

50
`√(3)`
