Answer :
We can use the tangent function to solve this problem. Let h be the height of the skyscraper.
First, we need to find the length of the adjacent side of the right triangle formed by Sadie, the base of the skyscraper, and the point where she is standing. This length is the horizontal distance between Sadie and the base of the skyscraper, which is 275 meters.
Next, we can use the tangent of the angle of elevation to find the ratio of the opposite side (the height of the skyscraper) to the adjacent side:
tan(36°) = h/275
Solving for h, we get:
h = 275 tan(36°)
Using a calculator, we find:
h ≈ 198.64 meters
Therefore, the height of the skyscraper is approximately 198.64 meters.
