Answer:
30.11 meters ( approx )
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the distance of a point P ( lies on the building ) from the top of the building such that AP is perpendicular to the building and y be the distance of the building from point A, ( shown in the below diagram )
Given,
Point A is 8.20 m above level ground,
So, the height of the building = ( x + 8.20 ) meters,
Now, 1 degree = 60 minutes,
⇒
By the below diagram,
Now, again by the below diagram,
Hence, the height of the building = x + 8.20 = 30.11 meters (approx)
