Johnny saw the empire state building casting a 204 foot shadow. If the angle of elevation from the tip of the shadow to the top of the empire state building is 82 degrees how tall is the empire state building? Round to nearest tenth.

Tan(82)=Height/204

7.11537=H/204 cross multiply

H=7.11537 x 204

H=1,451.5 feet - the height of Empire State Building.
