Answer:

26,167 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find the other angle of the complementary set

90 - 17 = 73°

Step 2: Find the angle of elevation from the ship

180 - (73 + 90) = 17°

Step 3: Use tan∅ to find distance

tan17° = 8000/x

xtan17° = 8000

x = 8000/tan17°

x = 26166.8

The sum of two complementary angles is 90°. For one pair of complementary angles, the measure of the first angle is 15 less than

steposvetlana [31]

let 2nd angle = x

then 1st angle = 2x-15

then you have 90 = x + 2x-15

2x +x = 3x

so now 90 = 3x-15

add 15 to each side

105=3x

x = 105/3 = 35

1st angle = 35 degrees

2nd angle = 2(35) - 15 = 70-15 = 65
