To estimate the height of a building, a student finds the angle of elevation from a point (at ground level) down the street from the building to the top of the building is 30° . From a point that is 100 feet closer to the building, the angle of elevation (at ground level) to the top of the building is 49° . If we assume that the street is level, use this information to estimate the height of the building. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. The height of the building is feet.
