Two people are looking up at a skyscraper Two people are looking up at a skyscraper. The people are 5 miles apart, and the skyscraper is between them. The angle of elevation to the top of the skyscraper is 10⁰ for one person and 4⁰ for the other. What is the approximate height of the skyscraper?

Julia wants to find the height of a redwood tree Julia wants to find the height of a redwood tree. Using her angle-measuring device, she finds that the angle of elevation to the top of the tree is about 79⁰. After measuring the angle, she walks off 31 paces to the base of the tree. If each pace is 0.6 meters, how tall is the tree to the nearest meter?
