The distance between the two buildings is 844.23 feet apart, we go this answer by simply applying the SOH CAH TOA method

Trigonometry

Given Data

  • Height of Building A (Opp) = 400 feet
  • Angle of Elevation θ = 35°
  • Distance between the buildings Adj = ??

Applying the SOH CAH TOA Approach we have

Tan  θ = Opp/Adj

Substituting our given data we have

Tan 35 = 400/x

0.4738 = 400/x

make x subject of the formula we have

x = 400/0.4738

x = 844.23 feet
