Question

a building casts a 25 foot shadow on a sunny day. If the angle of elevation from the tip of the shadow to the top of the building is 65 degrees, what is the height of the building to the nearest tenth of a foot?
I did tan =x/25
x=25tan65
x=53.61267301
x=53.6 feet
the height of the building is 53.6 ft tall.
Is this correct?
thanks
