Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 5 points. So there are 4 segments. The segments are the line between two points.
Let the height of the building be x. Let the initial distance of the ant from the building be y, then
tan 32 = x/y
y = x/tan 32 . . . . . . . . (1)
tan 22 = x/(y + 66)
y tan 22 + 66 tan 22 = x
y = (x - 66 tan 22)/tan 22 . . . . . . . . (2)
Equating (1) and (2), we have
x/tan 32 = (x - 66 tan 22)/tan 22
x tan 22 = x tan 32 - 66 tan 22 (tan 32)
x(tan 32 - tan 22) = 66 tan 22 (tan 32)
x = (66 tan 22 (tan 32))/(tan 32 - tan 22) = 66(0.4040)(0.6249)/(0.6249 - 0.4040) = 16.6626/0.2208 = 75.4
Therefore, the height of the building is 75.4 feet.
