The corporate office building is 50m high and angle of elevation at top of building is 52° when seen from a point on level ground. The distance between point and foot of the building is

39.06 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Height of the building, h = 50 m

The angle of elevation at top of building is 52° when seen from a point on level ground.

We need to find the distance between point and foot of the building. Let the distance be d. Using trigonometry to find it. So,

Where

P is perpendicular

B is base.

So,

So, the distance between point and foot of the building is 39.06 m

m∠a is 90°

m∠b is 40°
