You measure the angle from the ground to the top of the building from a point 61 feet away from the base of the building. The value of the angle is 30 degrees, but your measurement may be in error by as much as ±2°. Assuming level ground and a plumb building, use differentials to approximate the maximum possible error in calculating the height of the building using your measurement of the angle. Round your answer to three decimal places. (Hint: Remember in calculus, we always deal with radians.)
