From the top of a building 37 feet high, the angle of depression to a car stopped on the ground is 19 degrees. What is the distance from the car to the base of the building?

Respuesta :

The distance from the car to the base of the building is 107.46 feet

Angle of elevation and depression

From the question We are given the following information

Angle of depression

Height of the building H = 37 feet

Required

distance from the car to the base of the building

Using the SOH CAH TOA identity

tan 19 = opp/hyp

tan 19 = 37/B
B = 37/tan 19
B = 37/0.34432
B = 107.46

Hence the distance from the car to the base of the building is 107.46 feet
