Answer:

61.97 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Using trigonometry :

Horizontal distance between the person and building,

Let distance = d

Tan 15 = 15 / d

0.2679491 * d = 15

d = 15 / 0.2679491

d = 55.980781

To obtain the height, h :

tan 40 = (h-15)/d

d = 55.98

h-15 = 55.98 (tan 40°)

h - 15 = 55.98 * 0.8390996

h - 15 = 46.972797

h = 46.972797 + 15

h = 61.972797

h = 61.97 feets

Labor cost
15×2.5+8×1+5.25×(3÷4)
=49.44 this is labor cost

Overhead= labor cost×overhead rate
Overhead=49.44×0.75=37.08

Now find total cost of job
Total cost of job=125.50+49.44+37.08
