Draw a triangle with shortest side on the ground (horiz.). The length of this side is 80 feet. Two angles touch the ground: a right angle, and the 70 degree angle.
Then the height of the building is the 2nd shortest side.
The tangent function is the appropriate one to use here:
opp h
tan 70 deg = -------- = ----------
adj 80 ft
h
Since tan 70 deg = 2.75, 2.75 = -------
80 ft
so h = building height = (80 ft)(2.75) = 219.8 ft
Always because the sum of x and y is 180 degrees. If x and y are right angles, then x and y are supplementary angles. Never because the sum of x and y has to be 90 degrees. If x and y are complementary angles, then y is a right angle.
Round and then see what the number you have too add, subtract , multiply, and divide and then you would find the answer
