It is given in the diagram that the angle is 60 degree and the height of the building is 60 feet .
We have to find the distance of John from the base of the building.
Let that distance be x feet .
Now we use tan ratio formula which is
[tex]tan \theta = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex]
In the diagram, opposite is x feet, and adjacent is 60 feet. So we will get
[tex]tan 60 = \frac{x}{60}[/tex]
On cross multiplication, we will get
[tex]x = 60 tan 60 = approx 104 feet[/tex]
