Question

Zamir needs to determine the height of the building

Answer 1

Answer:

Height of the building = 115.4 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of building = AB + 46.4 + CD + 30.5

By applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔABP,

(26)² = (10)²+ (AB)²

676 - 100 = AB²

AB² = 576

AB = 24 ft

By applying sine rule in ΔCDE,

cos(60°) = $\frac{CD}{CE}$

CD = CE × $\frac{1}{2}$

CD = $\frac{29}{2}$

CD = 14.5 ft

Total Height = 24 + 46.4 + 14.5 + 30.5

                     = 115.4 ft
