Answer:

  115.47 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

You know the relation between opposite and adjacent sides of an angle in a right triangle is ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

If the "adjacent" side of the angle of elevation is the distance of the man from the building, we have ...

  tan(30°) = (100 ft)/d1

and

  tan(60°) = (100 ft)/d2

Solving these equations for d1 and d2 gives ...

  d1 = (100 ft)/tan(30°)

  d2 = (100 ft)/tan(60°)

Then the distance between the two men is ...

  d = d1 -d2 = (100 ft)(1/tan(30°) -1/tan(60°)) ≈ 115.47 ft

The distance between the two men is about 115 feet.

Let's go through each answer choice and eliminate the choices.

a) 6(2/3) = 4, this is less than 6, making it our correct answer, but still go and check each answer
b) 6(2/3) again = 4, this is less than 6, making this answer choice wrong.
c) 6(3/2) = 9, this is greater than 6, making this answer choice wrong.
d) 6(3/3) = 6, this is equal to 6, making this answer choice wrong.
