Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The idea here is to find the value for x and y, then add them together. See the pic I attached below. We will solve for side x first.
Side s is across from the reference angle of 48 degrees; side measuring 50 m is adjacent to the reference angle 48 degrees. Therefore, we will use the tangent ratio to solve for x:
and
50tan(48) = x so
x = 55.53m
Now we will do the same and solve for y. This time the reference angle is 28 degrees. Side y is opposite the reference angle and the side measuring 50 is adjacent to the reference angle, so we will use the tangent ratio again:
and
50tan(28) = y so
y = 26.59. Therefore,
x + y = 55.53 + 26.59 and
the height of the taller building is
82.1 m
