b) A surveyor wants to calculate the height of a building measures the angle of elevation as \( 30^{\circ} \) at point \( A \???????

b) A surveyor wants to calculate the height of a building measures the angle of elevation as \( 30^{\circ} \) at point \( A \). He then walks 10 metres closer to the building at point \( B \) and measures the angle of elevation as \( 40^{\circ} \). i) Find the distance from point \( \mathrm{A} \) to the base of the building at point \( \mathrm{C} \) (length \( \mathrm{AC}) \) (Round your answer to 4 significant figures).
