Answer:

98.13m

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete question

Daniel is 50.0 meters away from a building. Tip of the building makes an angle of 63.0° with the horizontal. What is the height of the building

CHECK THE ATTACHMENT

From the figure, using trigonometry

Tan(θ ) = opposite/adjacent

Where Angle (θ )= 63°

Opposite= X = height of the building

Adjacent= 50 m

Then substitute the values we have

Tan(63)= X/50

1.9626= X/50

X= 1.9626 × 50

X= 98.13m

Hence, the height of the building is 98.13m
