A small forest fire is cited due north of a fire lookout tower on Pikes Peak. From a second tower located 12.6 miles due west of
the first tower a Ranger observed that the fires is 49.5° east of duo North. How far is the fire from the tower Pikes Peak
1 answer:
Answer:
10.76 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>The following figure can be drawn from the information given.</em>
<em>We have to find the adjacent side which is between the given angle and 90 degrees.</em>
<em>Tan formula will be applied</em>
Tan (anlge) = opposite/adjacent
Opposite = 12.6
Angle = 49.5°
Adjacent = x
Tan (49.5°) = 12.6/x
x = 10.76 miles
Therefore, the fire is 10.76 miles away from the tower Pikes Peak.

<u>Answer:</u>
- The value of c is 2√2 or about 2.8.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
<u>We can find the hypotenuse (c) with the help of Pythagoras Theorem.</u>
- => c² = 2² + 2²
- => c² = 4 + 4
- => c² = 8
- => c = √8
- => c = √2 x 2 x 2
- => c = 2√2
<u>If you want further simplification, seek for explanation below.</u>
- => c = 2√2
- => c = 2 x √2
- => c = 2 x 1.414
- => c = 2.828 = 2.8 (Estimated)
Hence, <u>the value of c is 2√2 or about 2.8.</u>
