Question

Find the distance from point C to point D.

Answer 1

The tangent or tanθ in a right-angle triangle is the ratio of its perpendicular to its base. The distance from point C to point D is 258.8 meters.

What is Tangent (Tanθ)?

The tangent or tanθ in a right-angle triangle is the ratio of its perpendicular to its base. it is given as,

$\rm Tangent(\theta) = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}$

where,

θ is the angle,

Perpendicular is the side of the triangle opposite to the angle θ,

The base is the adjacent smaller side of the angle θ.

The distance from point C to D is equal to the distance from point A to B. Therefore, the height of the building can be written as,

Tan(25°) = AB / BC

Tan(25°) × 555 m = AB

AB = 258.8 meters

Hence, the distance from point C to point D is 258.8 meters.
