John is looking at the eagle on top of a building. the height of the building is 60 feet. approximately how many feet is john away from the base of the building?

It is given in the diagram that the angle is 60 degree and the height of the building is 60 feet .

We have to find the distance of John from the base of the building.

Let that distance be x feet .

Now we use tan ratio formula which is

In the diagram, opposite is x feet, and adjacent is 60 feet. So we will get

On cross multiplication, we will get

logv3(x+2)=1

rewrite in exponential form:

logb(x) = y is equal to b^y =x

b = 3, y = 1

now solve for x:

3^1 = x+2)

x = 3-2

x = 1

see the picture for the graph.

answer: 16

step-by-step explanation: first you would add 6+6 which equals 12 then add 2+2 which equals 4. then add 12 + 4 which is 16.

hope this ^_^
