Answer 2

Answer:

Concept: to fin the distance of the building with the person, put the value in the formulae of tangent.

Given: height of building is 62m and angle is 51°.

To find : distance of the object with the person.

Step-by-step explanation:

angle of elevation is calculated with the formulae of tangent angle.

so the formulae is tan∅= $\frac{height}{base}$

and, let the distance be x.

now,  if we put the values in the formulae ,we can say that

tan 51° = $\frac{62}{x}$

so, $x=\frac{62}{1.234}$

so, $x=50.24$m

∴ the distance of  building's base with the person is 50.24m.
