The height of the Burnett building to the nearest foot be is 444 feet

<h3 /><h3 /><h3>What is angle of elevation and depression?</h3>

The angle from the horizontal to a point or the line of sight is measured with angles of elevation and depression.

when the points is high above the line of sight we have angle of elevation however when the line of sight is below the horizontal we have angle of depression

<u>Given data</u>

distance between the two buildings ( horizontal ) = 880 feet

angle of elevation = 8 degrees

angle of depression = 20 degrees

applying Trigonometry relations

for angle of elevation

tan 8 = h1 / 880

h1 = 123.676 feet

for angle of depression

tan 20 = h2 / 880

h2 = =880 * tan 20

h2 = 320.294

let the height of the Burnett building to the nearest foot be h

h = h1 + h2

h = 123.676 + 320.294

h = 443.97

h = 444 feet

Explanation:

<span>3<span><span>√5</span>+<span>√6</span></span></span>

We rationalise the denominator by multiplying the expression by the conjugate of the denominator. <span><span>√5</span>−<span>√6</span></span>
