A surveyor determines that the angle of elevation to the top of a vertical building from a pt on level ground is 38deg. She then moves back 50 feet & determines that the angle of elevation is 32 deg. Find the height of the building.
It'd be greatly appreciated if steps would be shown of how to solve it!

sin(6∘)50=sin(32∘)yy=50sin(32∘)sin(6∘)
sin(38∘)=hyh=ysin(38∘)h=50sin(32∘)sin(38∘)sin(6∘)h=156 feet
