We can use trigonometry to solve the problem. First draw a picture of the situation to understand what is going on (See the attached photo).

Next, we can use the tangent  function to solve for the height of the building:

tan(29^{\circ})= \frac{h}{71}

Next, rearrange the problem to solve for h:

h = 71tan(29^{\circ})

h = 39.356 ft

A driver travels for 2 hours at 80 miles per hour, during
algol [13]

Answer:

$84

Step-by-step explanation:

Find how many miles she traveled by multiplying 80 and 2.

80 × 2 = 160 miles

Next find out how much she gets paid for her mileage by multiply $0.60 and 160.

160 × $0.60 = $96.00

Now find out how much she spent on gas. She gets 40 miles per gallon so solve how many gallons she used by dividing 160 by 40.

160 ÷ 40 = 4 gallons

Then multiply 4 gallons by $3.00

4 × 3 = $12

To find the net rate of pay subtract 96 and 12

$96 - $12 = $84
