Question

4) The hospital and the fire department are 46 meters apart. From a window in the hospital,

Answer 1

The height of the fire department is 244.72 m

Step-by-step explanation:

A)

Angle of elevation = 73°

The distance between the two buildings = 46 m

tan 73° = b/46

tan 73° = 3.27

tan 73° = b/46

3.27 = b/46

b = 3.27 x 46

b = 150.42 m

B)

Angel of depression= 64°

The distance between the two buildings = 46 m

tan 64° = a/46

tan 64° = 2.05

tan 64° a/46

2.05 = a/46

a = 2.05 x 46

a = 94.3 m

The total height of the fire department building = a + b

= 94.3 + 150.42

= 244.72 m

The height of the fire department is 244.72 m
