Emery looks out their apartment window to the building across the way. The building isknown to be 42 feet tall. The angle of dep

ression from Emery's window to the bottom of the buildingis 27◦, and the angle of elevation to the top of the building is 23◦. Find Emery's distance x from thebuilding across the way.

Answer:

x=44.5ft

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height h=42ft

Angle of depression \theta=27\textdegree

Angle of Elevation \alpha=23 \textdegree

Generally the equation for the vertical distance between Emery's distance x and the bottom of the building  is mathematically given by

Since the angle of depression and elevation are given as

27 and 23 respectively

Therefore

Emery's view of the 42 ft building is

\gamma=23+27

\gamma=50  \textdegree

Therefore Emery's distance x to the base of the building h' is

h'=\frac{27}{50}*42

h'=22.68ft

Generally the Trigonometric equation for Emery's distance x is mathematically given by

x=\frac{h'}{tan\theta}

x=\frac{22.68}{tan 27}

x=44.5ft

14.18 because you do pi times the radius squared and divide it by 2.
