AI Generated Solution

To find the height of the building based on the given angle of elevation, we can use trigonometric ratios. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have a right triangle formed by the height of the building (h), the distance from the foot of the building to the point of observation (100 m), and the line of sight to the top of the building. The angle of elevation from the point of observation to the top of the building is given as \(60^\circ\). ### Step 2: Identify the Right Triangle In the right triangle: - The height of the building (h) is the opposite side to the angle of elevation. ...
