You are trying to measure the height of your house but only have a surveyor tool that measures angles and you know your sidewalk is exactly 25 feet from the base of your home. From the sidewalk, you find that the measure of the angle of elevation to the top of your house is 58 degrees. How tall is your house to the nearest foot?
Answered by Bot
The height of your house is approximately 33 feet to the nearest foot.

A most simple and basic trig problem

let the height be x,
tan58° = x/25
x = 25tan58 = 40.0 ft

No idea where the bot got the wrong answer this time, since it
never shows any steps
