Answer:
1818.0498 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle of elevation to the top of a building in New York is found to be 19 degrees from the ground at a distance of 1 mile from the base of the building.
the angle of elevation is 19 degree
base is 1 miles
1 mile =5280 feet
it forms a right angle triangle . Let x be the height of the building
[tex]tan(theta)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent} \\tan(19)=\frac{x}{5280} \\x=5280 \cdot tan(19)= 1818.05[/tex]
height of the building is 18.18.0498 feet
