Answer:
b. 2692 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The relation of interest between the sides of the right triangle is ...
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
Using the given numbers, that is ...
tan(32°) = (building height)/(4300 ft)
Multiplying by 4300 ft, we get ...
building height = (4300 ft)·tan(32°) ≈ 2686.9 ft
This is the height above the observer's eyes, so the height of the building above the ground is ...
2687 +5 = 2692 . . . . feet
The building is 2692 feet tall.
