The point on the ground is # **53.6# meters from the base of
building .**

Let the point on the ground is #x# meters from the base of

building of #y=200# meter tall and angle of depression from

top of building to the point in ground is #theta= 75^0#.

#tan theta= y/x or tan 75= 200/x or x = 200/tan 75 ~~ 53.59# m.

The point on the ground is # 53.6# meters from the base of

building . [Ans]
