Vic is standing on the ground at a point directly south of the base of the CN Tower and can see the top when looking at an angle

of elevation of 61°. Dan is standing on the ground at a point directly west of the base of the tower and must look up at an angle of elevation of 72° in order to see the top. If the CN Tower is 553.3 m tall,how far apart are Vic and Dan to the nearest meter? Include a well-labeled diagram as part of your solution.

The angle of elevation of 61° and 72° with the height of the tower being 553.3 m. gives Vic's distance from Dan as approximately 356 meters.

<h3>How can the distance between Vic and Dan be calculated?</h3>

Location of Vic relative to the tower = South

Vic's sight angle of elevation to the top of the tower = 61°

Dan's location with respect to the tower = West

Dan's angle of elevation in order to see the top of the tower = 72°

Height of the tower = 553.3m

tan( \theta) =  \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

tan( 61 ^{ \circ}) =  \frac{553.3}{ Vic' s\: distance \: to \: tower}

distance  =  \frac{553.3}{tan ( {61}^{ \circ} )}  = 306.7

  • Vic's distance from the tower ≈ 306.7 m

Similarly, we have;

Dan's distance  =  \frac{553.3}{tan ( {72}^{ \circ} )}  = 179.8

  • Dan's distance from the tower ≈ 179.8 m

Given that Vic and Dan are at right angles relative to the tower (Vic is on the south of the tower while Dan is at the west), by Pythagorean theorem, the distance between Vic and Dan <em>d </em>is found as follows;

  • d = √(306.7² + 179.8²) ≈ 356

Therefore;

  • Vic is approximately 356 meters from Dan

Step-by-step explanation:

-6=t-2/7-5

-6=t-2/2

Cross multiply

-6*2=t-2

-12=t-2

1) Suppose a rhombus has 12 cm sides and a 30° angle. Find the distance between the pair of opposite sides.
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

1) 6 cm

2) 117°

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Draw a picture of the rhombus.  The distance between opposite sides is the height of the rhombus.  If we draw the height at the vertex, we get a right triangle.  Using trigonometry:

sin 30° = h / 12

h = 12 sin 30°

h = 6 cm

2) Draw a picture of the rectangle.

∠KML is the angle the diagonal makes with the shorter side ML.  This angle is 54°.  ∠NKM is the angle the diagonal makes with the shorter side NK.  ∠KML and ∠NKM are alternate interior angles, so m∠NKM = 54°.

The angle bisector of angle ∠NKM divides the angle into two equal parts and intersects the longer side NM at point P.  So m∠PKM = 27°.

KLMN is a rectangle, so it has right angles.  That means ∠KML and ∠KMN are complementary.  So m∠KMN = 36°.

We now know the measures of two angles of triangle KPM.  Since angles of a triangle add up to 180°, we can find the measure of the third angle:

m∠KPM + 36° + 27° = 180°

m∠KPM = 117°

The height of a rectangular prism is 3 feet. The length and width can be expressed as x-1 and x+4. If the volume of the prism is
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume  = 198 ft

length * width * height = 198

(x - 1) * (x + 4) * 3 = 198

(x - 1) * (x + 4)  = 198/3

(x - 1) * (x + 4) = 66

x*x + x*4 -1*x - 1*4 = 66   {Use FOIL method to multiply}

x² + 4x - x - 4 = 66

x² + 3x - 4 =66

x² + 3x - 4 - 66 = 0

x² + 3x - 70 = 0

Now factorize.

x² + 10x - 7x - 7*10 = 0

x(x +10) - 7(x + 10 ) = 0

(x + 10)(x - 7) = 0

x - 7 = 0 {x + 10 is ignored because measurement cannot be in negative}

x = 7

length = x - 1 = 7 - 1 = 6ft

Width = x + 4 = 7 + 4 = 11 ft
