The angle of elevation of a point C from a point B is 29042'; the angle of elevation of C from another point A 31.2 m directly below B is 59023'. How high is C from the horizontal line through A?
Added by Eric F.
Step 1
- For point B: \( 29042' = 29 + \frac{42}{60} = 29.7^\circ \) - For point A: \( 59023' = 59 + \frac{23}{60} = 59.3833^\circ \) Show more…

The angle of elevation of the top point D of a tower A is 23°30'. From another point B, the angle of elevation of the top of the tower is 55°30'. The points A and B are 217.45 m apart and on the same horizontal plane as the foot (point C) of the tower. The horizontal angle subtended by A and B at the foot of the tower is 90°. Find the height of the tower CD. a. 90.59 m b. 59.90 m c. 69.59 m d. 50.90 m

From point A and B on level ground, the angles of elevation of the top of a building are 25° and 37° respectively. If /AB/= 57m, calculate, to nearest metre, the distance of the top of the building from A and B if they are both on the same side of the building.

Solve each problem. Angle of Elevation From point $A$ the angle of elevation to the top of the building is $30^{\circ},$ as shown in the accompanying figure. From point $B, 20$ meters closer to the building, the angle of elevation is $45^{\circ} .$ Find the angle of elevation of the building from point $C,$ which is another 20 meters closer to the building.
