The tangent or tanθ in a right angle triangle is the ratio of its perpendicular to its base. The height of the building from the ground is 426.85 meters.
The tangent or tanθ in a right angle triangle is the ratio of its perpendicular to its base. it is given as,
[tex]\rm Tangent(\theta) = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}[/tex]
where,
θ is the angle,
Perpendicular is the side of the triangle opposite to the angle θ,
The base is the adjacent smaller side of the angle θ.
As it is given that the angle of elevation from the person's view is 80°, while the distance between the person and the base of the building is 75 meters, therefore, using the trigonometric function the height of the building top from the person eye level is,
[tex]\rm Tangent(\theta) = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}\\\\\\Tan(80^o) = \dfrac{\text{Height of the building}}{75\ meters}\\\\\\\text{Height of the building} = 75 \times tan(80^o) = 425.35\ meters[/tex]
Now, we know the height of the building top from a person's eye level, and we also know the person's eye level as well, therefore, the height of the building can be written as,
[tex]\text{Height of the building} = 425.35 + 1.5 = 426.85\rm\ meters[/tex]
Hence, the height of the building from the ground is 426.85 meters.
