Answer:

The height of the building is of 244.95 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this question.

We have that:

The shadow of 50 feet is one side of the right triangle, while the height h is other side.

The hypotenuse is the distance from the end of the shadow to the top of the building, which is 250 feet.

So

50^2 + h^2 = 250^2

h^2 = \sqrt{250^2 - 50^2}

h = 244.95

The height of the building is of 244.95 feet.

You want to find the height of a tower used to transmit cellular phone calls. You stand 100 feet away from the tower and mesure
nevsk [136]

Answer:

84 feet to the nearest foot.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a right angled triangle with adjacent side (A) = 100 and you want to find the height of the tower, the opposite side (O).

A = 100 , O = ? so we need the tangent , (from SOH-CAH-TOA).

tan 40 = O/ 100

O = 100 tan 40

= 83.9 feet.
