22. The angle of elevation to the top of a building is found to be 50° from the
ground at a distance of 850 feet from the base of the building. Using this
information, which expression below could be used to calculate the height of
the building?
height = 850 · tan(50°)
height
= 850 · sin(50°)
height
= 850 · cot(50°)
height = 850 · cos(50°)
None of the above.
