You have an angle of elevation of 3 degrees and you're 2000 ft from base of 30 story building. 
<span>Draw a picture of this. Then tan(3) = ht of bldg/2000 </span>
<span>I get a height of 104.82 ft rounded to 2 dp. </span>


<span>5. Ok. use the Pythagorean Theorem here to find the hypotenuse of the right triangle </span>
<span>hypt = sqrt(50^2 + 9^2) </span>
<span>Now sine of the angle of elevation is 50/hypt. = 0.984 or 0.98 to 2 dp.</span>

If the scholarship pays 75% of her classes cost, that means that she has to pay the 25% remaining of the classes cost so if we calculate it as follow:

0.25 * $14,000 = $3,500 
 =================================================================
Another method to understand:
if the scolarship pays 75% of her classes that will be 
0.75* $14,000 = $10,500

now she has to pay the remaining of the total cost and that will be 
$14,000 - $10,500 = $3,500.
