A man 2 m high observes the angle of elevation to the top of a building to be 71° and the angle of depression to the bottom of the building to be 26°. How tall is the building?

The building is 13.91 m tall

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are;

Angle of elevation to the top of the building = 71°

Angle of depression to the bottom of the building = 26°

Height of the man = 2  m

Therefore, the sight of the man, the man's height, and the distance of the man from the building forms a triangle where:

The hypotenuse side = The sight of the man to the bottom of the building

Hence;

In ΔABC, A being at the eye level or head level of the man, B at the foot and C at the bottom of the building

∴ ∠A + Angle of depression to the bottom of the building = 90°

∠A = 90° - 26° = 64°

∠B = 90° and ∠C = 26° (Sum of angles in a triangle)

Distance of the man from the building = BC

Given that the angle of elevation to the top of the building = 71°, we have;

ΔAET

Where:

A is at the head level of the man,

E is the point on the building directing facing the man and

T is the top of the building

Hence AE = BC and ∡TAE = 71°

TE + AB= The height of the building

∴ TE = tan(71°) × 4.1 = 11.91 m

Hence the height of the building = 11.91 + 2 = 13.91 m.

first, we define the variables:

x: number of years after 1950

f (x): amount of vinyl sold.

then, with the variables defined, we have:

68594 vinyl records were sold in 1958 > f (8) = 68594

91299 vinyl records were sold in 1961 > f (11) = 91299

38720 vinyl records were sold in 1952 > f (2) = 38720

161743 vinyl records were sold in 1967 > f (17) = 161743

step-by-step explanation:

first, you divide the triangle in two, tô form a retangle triangle. after, using pythagoream theorem:

18^2 = 14^2 + (x/2)^2

(x^2/4) + 196 = 324

x^2/4 = 324 - 196

x^2/4 = 128

x^2 = 512

x = √512

x = √2^9

x = 16√2 cm

i hope i you.
