Answer:

202 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Angle of depression, θ = 36°45' ; 45/60 = 0.75 = 36 + 0.75 = 36.75°

The height, h = 270

The distance of park bench from the building, d is given by :

Tan θ = opposite / Adjacent

Tan 36.75 = d / 270

d = 270 * Tan 36.75

d = 201.61856

d, distance of Park bench from building is 202 m
