Answer:
5 2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
4.5 %
279 feet
To find x, we solve using the Trigonometric function of Tangent
tan θ = Opposite/ Adjacent
θ = 64°
Length of the shadow = Adjacent = 136 feet
Height of the building = Opposite = h
Hence,
tan 64 = h/136 feet
Cross Multiply
h = tan 64 × 136 feet
h = 278.84132245 feet
Approximately, h to the nearest foot ≈ 279 feet
Therefore, the height of the building = 279 feet
