See picture below for a geometric view.
Let x = height of building
We use basic trigonometry to find x.
The tangent function = opposite side of right triangle OVER adjacent side of right triangle.
tan(2°) = x/1
Solve for x.
After multiplying both sides by 1 (here 1 represents 1 mile), we get
tan(2°) = x.
We now use the calculator to find x.
In fact, you can take it from here. Use your calculator.
A division problem is unsolved, so it is an unknown factor until ithe problem is solved.
If you divide 2380 by 4, it will give you 10% of the whole:
1380/4=345
Then you can times 345 by 6 To find the 60%:
345*6=2070
PS Please check my calculations with a calculator as I worked these out in my head.
