Answer:
B. 15.4 ft
Explanation:
this answer, without any formulas used, can be answered correctly and logically.
answer c, d and e are eliminated as the opposite side cant be greater than the hypotenuse.
now we have to find which is correct between a and b
the answer will be 'B' as the value of sine of an angle keeps increasing as the angle itself increases. thus, giving a bigger value of the opposite side (required height). as 15.4 ft.
mathematically,
sin65° = x/17
17 × sin65° = x
where x is height of the side of the building.
