A student is standing, reading an article 25 meters away from his school building. If the angle of elevation of the top of the school building is 60 degrees, how tall is the school building (approx.)?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Base = 25 meters
Angle of elevation = 60°
tan60° = Height / 25
Height = 25√3
≈ 25 × 1.732
≈ 43 meters
