The angle of elevation to the top of a 30-story skyscraper is measured to be 2 degrees from a point on the ground 5,280 feet from the building. what is the height of the skyscraper to the nearest hundredth foot?

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In a right triangle the tangent function of an angle is equal to divide the opposite side to the angle by the adjacent side to the angle

In this problem we have

Let

h-----> the opposite side to the angle (represent the height)

so

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

a

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|
