You are sitting at the edge of the Grand Canyon admiring the view when you notice a tour group at the bottom of the canyon. You

estimate that the angle of depression from your spot on the edge to the group is 39°. The sign that says that the bottom of the canyon is 5000 ft below the rim: What is your line of sight distance?

Answer:

7949.13 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

Angle of depression from the spot to the group = 39°

Height of Grand Canyon = 5000 feet.

So, we will get the following figure of a right triangle.

<em>As, 'in a right triangle, the angles and the sides can be written in trigonometric form'.</em>

We get, \sin A=\frac{perpendicular}{hypotenuse}

i.e. \sin 39=\frac{5000}{x}

i.e. x=\frac{5000}{\sin 39}

i.e. x=\frac{5000}{0.629}

i.e. x = 7949.13 feet

Thus, the line of sight distance is 7949.13 feet.

0.20/4=0.05R0.00 or 0.05 + 0.00/4
now put it all together
0.7R2 = 0.7 + 0.05R0.00 = 0.75 + 0.00 = 0.75

What is the simplest form of the expression below?
sineoko [7]

Answer:

(B) cot Theta

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to simplify the expression:

\dfrac{cot\theta cos\theta}{sin\theta } X\dfrac{tan\theta}{\frac{sin\theta}{cos\theta tan \theta}  }

Now:

\dfrac{ cos\theta}{sin\theta } =cot\theta\\\dfrac{ sin\theta}{cos\theta }=tan \theta\\$Substituting these into the expression\\\dfrac{cot\theta cos\theta}{sin\theta } X\dfrac{tan\theta}{\frac{sin\theta}{cos\theta tan \theta}  }=cot\theta cot\theta X\dfrac{tan\theta}{\frac{tan\theta}{ tan \theta}  }\\=cot\theta cot\theta X tan\theta$  (Since cot\theta X tan\theta =1) \\$Therefore our result:\\=cot\theta
