A surveyor measures from a point on the ground level that is 40 feet away from the building. the surveyor noted that the angle formed by the ground and the line of sight to the top of the building is 30°. how tall is the building?​

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116

answer: b
