(1) To measure the height of a building, a surveyor sets up his transit at a distance of 112.2 feet from the building. He finds the angle of elevation of the top of the building to be 48 degrees 17 minutes. If the telescope of the top of the transit is 5 feet above the base of the building, how high is the building? (2) A 30-foot flagstaff is fixed in the center of a circular tower 40 feet in diameter. From a point in the same horizontal plane as the foot of the tower the angles of elevation of the top of the flagstaff and top of the tower are found to be 36 degrees and 30 degrees respectively. Find the height of the tower. PLEASE ANSWER BOTH. THANK YOU VERY MUCH MR/MS. EXPERT. HAVE A NICE DAY/NIGHT!
