In order to estimate the height of a building, two students stand at a certain distance from the building at street level. from

this point, they find the angle of elevation from the street to the top of the building to be 39°. they then move 300 feet closer to the building and find the angle of elevation to be 50°. assuming that the street is level, estimate the height of the building to the nearest foot

Let h represent the height of the building. Then the difference between the two angle measurement locations is
.. h/tan(39°) -h/tan(50°) = 300 ft
.. h = (300 ft)/(1/tan(39°) -1/tan(50°))
.. h ≈ 758 ft

The height of the building is about 758 feet.

Hat is the solution to the system of equations?
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

(–19, 55)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = –3x – 2   equation 1

5x + 2y = 15 equation 2

using equation 1 in equation 2 we have:

5x + 2(–3x – 2) = 15

5x –6x – 4 = 15

-x = 15+4

x=-19

using equation 1:

y = -3(-19)- 2  

y= 57-2

y= 55
