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

klio [65]

Step-by-step explanation:

when the difference between CI and SI given then the sum =

difference (100/r)^2

given difference is Rs . 180

Rate of interest is 15%

sum = 180× (100/15)^2

180×10000/225

= 8000
