Answer:
Option 3. 71 ft. is the distance between B and top of the hill.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the height of the hill is h ft and the distance of A from the hill be x ft and distance from B to hill is y.
It is given distance between A and B is 45 ft. ∠BAO = 65° and ∠ABO = 80°.
We have to find the distance of B from the top of the hill.
Now from ΔACO
From ΔBCO
h = 5.67x
Now h = 5.67x = 2.14(45-x)
5.67x = 96.3 - 2.14x
2.14x + 5.67x = 96.3
7.81x = 96.3
x = 96.3/7.81 = 12.33 ft
Therefore
Therefore 71 ft is the distance between B and the top of the hill.
