Problem 5

An observer on the roof of building \(A\) measures a \(27^{\circ}\) angle of depression between the horizontal and the base of building \(B\). The angle of elevation from the same point to the roof of the second building is \(41.42^{\circ} .\) What is the height of building \(B\) if the height of building \(A\) is \(150 \mathrm{ft}\) ? Assume buildings \(A\) and \(B\) are on the same horizontal plane.
