A large apartment building was recently built in a coastal city. The building was constructed away from the coastline and there are other buildings between it and the ocean, but some of the upper floors have a view of the ocean. People living above 80 m high in the apartment building can see the ocean and the beach. If the angle of elevation from the edge of the ocean to this point on the building is 26°, how far away from the ocean is the building? Round the answer to the nearest meter.
- 39 m
- 89 m
- 164 m
