Let the distance of the engineer from the base of the building be x, then 
tan 22 = 450/x
x = 450/tan 22 = 450/0.4040 = 1,113.79

Therefore, the distance of the engineer from the base of the building to the nearest foot is 1,114 feet.

Answer:

Distance, x = 1114 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

The angle of elevation to the top of the building, \theta=22^0

Height of the building, h = 450 ft

We have to find the distance from the engineer to the base of the building i.e. x

In triangle ABC, using trigonometric equations as :

tan(22)=\dfrac{AB}{BC}

tan(22)=\dfrac{450}{x}

x=\dfrac{450}{tan(22)}

x=1113.7\ ft

or

x = 1114 ft

So, the distance from the engineer to the base of the building is option (A) i.e. 1114 ft

Lubov Fominskaja [6]
The hang time will be the same because the amount of time spent in the air is dependent on the vertical height. The fact that the player covers horizontal distance is simply due to him also pushing forward, instead of only upwards.
