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°

Kisachek [45]

A person sold 100 shares of a stock at a loss of 40%.

selling price for the 100 shares was $3,000

Let the stock was bought at $x then we can write

x-\frac{40x}{100}=3000\\ \\ \frac{100x-40x}{100}=3000\\ \\ \ \frac{60x}{100}=3000\\ \\ \ 60x= 3000*100\\ \\ x=\frac{3000*100}{60} \\ \\ \ x=5*100=5000\\

Hence Amount paid for the Stock was $5000
