Hello!
Let's think of this scenario as a triangle. This 3 degree angle is opposite from the building, and the adjacent side to this angle is 2,000 feet. We know that the tangent deals with opposite and adjacent side. Let's find it below.
tan3≈0.052
This gives us the equation below.
x/2,000=0.052
Now we solve. Let's multiply each side by 2,000.
x=104
As you can see, 104 is very close to both C and D. Instead of using 0.052, let's just use the exact tangent of 3. We multiply this by 2,000. By doing so, we get about 104.82.
Therefore, our answer is D) 104.82
I hope this helps!
