Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP ! a skyscraper casts a shadow 200 feet long is the angle of elevation of the sun is 42 the height is

Answer 1

Answer:

A) 180.08 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram depicting the situation is shown in the attachment.

From the diagram the height is f ft.

The side we are trying to find is opposite to the given angle which is $42\degree$

We use the tangent ratio to obtain;

$\tan 42\degree=\frac{f}{200}$

We solve for f to get:

$f=200\tan 42\degree$

$f=180.08ft$
