The total height of the building in question is;
600 ft
<h3>Angle of Elevation</h3>The ledge of a wall is simply a projection from a building.
Now, we are told that this ledge is 300 ft from the building.
- Angle of elevation to the building top = 60°
- Angle of depression to the building bottom = 15°
Now, from the attached image, the distance from the ledge on the building wall to the top of the building is x.
- Thus, by trigonometric ratio;
x/300 = tan 60
x = 300 × 1.732
x ≈ 520 ft
- Similarly, via trigonometric ratio;
y/300 = tan 15
y = 300 × 0.2679
y ≈ 80
Thus;
Height of building = 520 + 80
Height of building = 600 ft
