Respuesta :

Answer:

219.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between building and sculpture is 222.76 feet.

What are trigonometric applications?

Some of the practical applications of trigonometry are used in architecture while calculating the slope of roofs to build a home to drain rainwater or snow. Another practical application is measuring the height of different objects such as a mountain or a tree or a tower.

Given

Height of window P = 90 feet

Angle of depression = 22°

Distance between building and sculpture(B) :

Using trigonometry application

[tex]Tan (22^{0})==\frac{P}{B}[/tex]

[tex]0.4040=\frac{90}{B}[/tex]

B = 222.772

Rounding to the nearest hundredth

B = 222.76 (Approximately)

Distance between building and sculpture is 222.76 feet.
