Question

Pls solve part b for me . Thx

Answer 1

The bearing of the tree from Q is 296.565°

How to determine the height of the tree?

The figure that illustrates the bearing and the distance is added as an attachment

The given parameters are:

Base of the tree, b = 50 meters

Angle (x) = 32 degrees

Calculate the height (h) of the tree using:

tan(x) = height/base

So, we have:

tan(32°) = h/50

Make h the subject

h= 50 × tan(32°)

Evaluate

h = 31.24

Hence, the height of the tree is 31.24 meters

How to determine the distance between Q and the base of the tree?

The distance (d) between Q and the base of the tree

This is calculated using the following Pythagoras theorem

d = √(100² + 50²)

Evaluate

d = 111.80

Hence, the distance between Q and the base of the tree is 111.80 meters

How to determine the angle of elevation?

The angle of elevation (x) using the following tangent trigonometric ratio

tan(x) = h/d

This gives

tan(x) = 31.24/111.80

Evaluate the quotient

tan(x) = 0.2794

Take the arc tan of both sides

x = 15.61

The bearing of the tree from Q

This is calculated using:

Angle of bearing = 270 + arctan(50/100)

Evaluate the arc tan

Angle of bearing = 270 + 26.565

Evaluate the sum

Angle of bearing = 296.565

Hence, the bearing of the tree from Q is 296.565 degrees
