9514 1404 393

Answer:

  80.38°

Step-by-step explanation:

The relevant trig relation is ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

The person is standing 40 ft from the building. The point they're looking at is 236 ft above their eyes. So the angle α is found from ...

  tan(α) = 236/40

  α = arctan(236/40) ≈ 80.38°

Simplify and show work 5 1/3+(-3 9/18)
DedPeter [7]
This would basically be :
5 1/3 - 3 9/18
Then, make both fractions share a common denominator
5 6/18 - 3 9/18
Then, change the first number to make it compatible to subtract
4 24/18 - 3 9/18 = 1 15/18
Simplify
1 15/18 = 1 5/6
