Amira is trying to find the height of a radio antenna on the roof of a local
building. She stands at a horizontal distance of 26 meters from the building.
The angle of elevation from her eyes to the roof (point A) is 23°, and the
angle of elevation from her eyes to the top of the antenna (point B) is 33°. If
her eyes are 1.54 meters from the ground, find the height of the antenna (the
distance from point A to point B). Round your answer to the nearest meter if
necessary.
Answer:Using the formula for the area of the composite shape, Area of composite shape = Area of rectangle + area of the square. ⇒ Area of composite shape = 14+9 = 23 square inches.
