Two observing stations were set up 850m apart. A structural building in between them was observed to have an angle of elevation at the top equal to 12.53° and 10.2° respectively from each station. Find the height of the building.
Ratios
A ratio is a comparison between two numbers of the same kind. It represents how many times one number contains another. It also represents how small or large one number is compared to the other.
Trigonometric Ratios
