Sagot :

Answer:

height : 150 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\sf \sf tan(x)= \dfrac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex]

using tan rule:

[tex]\hookrightarrow \sf tan(62)= \dfrac{b}{80}[/tex]

[tex]\hookrightarrow \sf b = tan(62)*80[/tex]

[tex]\hookrightarrow \sf b =150.46 \ feet[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]\approx 150 \: ft[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

recall sohcahtoa

  • sin(x)=opposite/hypotenuse
  • cos(x)=adjacent/hypotenuse
  • tan(x)=opposite/adjacent

here,

  • The adjacent side is 80 ft
  • x°=62°
  • The opposite side is the height

To find:

  • The opposite side or the height

since we are given the value of adjacent side and need to figure out the opposite side , we will work with tan function,

So,

[tex] \tan( {62}^{ \circ} ) = \dfrac{h}{80} [/tex]

[tex] \implies \: h = 80\tan( {62}^{ \circ} ) [/tex]

using calculator,we acquire

[tex] \implies \: h \approx 150 \: ft[/tex]

hence, the height of the building is approximately 150ft
