The point of observation is 2500 m away from the foot of the building.
The angle of elevation is 4°.
We need to find the height 'h' of the building.
With respect to 4°,
2500 is the adjacent side.
'h' is the opposite side.
The trigonometric ratio associating opposite & adjacent is tan.
We have
Cross multiplying we get
h = 2500 tan4°
h= 174.82 m
Option B) is the right answer.
Answer:
A = 52°, a = 149.2, c = 174.3
Step-by-step explanation:
Technology is useful for this. Many graphing calculators can solve triangles for you. The attachment shows a phone app that does this, too.
___
The Law of Sines can give you the value of c, so you can choose the correct answer from those offered.
c = sin(C)·b/sin(B) = sin(113°)·49/sin(15°) ≈ 174.271 ≈ 174.3 . . . . . third choice
