You are standing 46 meters from the base of a building. You estimate that the angle of elevation to the top of the 86th floor (the observatory) is 82°. If the total height of the building is another 121 meters above the 86th floor, what is the approximate height of the building?

2 answers

height = base* tan(82)
46 * 7.11536 = 327.31
327.32 + 121 = 448.31 meters
Correction: 327.31 + 121 = 448.31 meter*
