Answer:
With respect to the reference angle, one leg is the adjacent leg, or the leg right next to the reference angle; and the other leg is the opposite leg, or the leg on the opposite side of the triangle. If two triangles are similar, the ratios of corresponding sides are equal.
Ropes are 9.63 meters ans 8.178 meters.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Step 1 :
List all the given things
Distance between people holding ropes = 40 =(40*0.3048) meters = 12.192 meters
Angle between two ropes = 86 degrees
Angle of elevation of one rope = 42 degrees
Step 2 :
Two angles of triangle are already given so third angle can be calculated as -
Third angle = 180 - ( 86 + 42 ) = 52 degrees
Step 3 :
As we know all three angles we will apply sine rule now, which is
Step 4 :
By putting values, we have
Step 5 : Calculating a and b
,
Step 6 :
By putting values of all sine and calculating we get,
a = 9.63 meters and b = 8.178 meters
