C = 2 pi r
but c = 15
15 = 2 pi r
15 = 2 * (22/7) * r
r = (15*7) / 2 / 22
r = 2.386
Answer:
about 2949 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The geometry of the situation can be modeled by a right triangle. The height of the cliff can be taken to be the side opposite the given angle, and the distance to the coyote will be the side adjacent to the given angle. The relation between these values is the trig function ...
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
__
<h3>setup</h3>
Filling in the known values, we have ...
tan(6°) = (310 ft)/(distance to coyote)
<h3>solution</h3>
Multiplying by (distance to coyote)/tan(6°) gives ...
distance to coyote = (310 ft)/tan(6°) ≈ 310/0.105104 ft
distance to coyote ≈ 2949.453 ft
The coyote is about 2949 feet from the base of the cliff.
Hey Rireneb!
This is a pretty simple Geometry question, so I will explain it in-depth for you to understand clearly! What you have displayed in the image is an isosceles triangle, meaning that both base angles are congruent (to each other). You know that the angle opposite to the base is 93.5, so you can subtract that from 180 and get 180-93.5=86.5
So, your base angles must be equal AND equal 86.5 when added up. So you must do the following, 86.5/2, which would get you to the answer 43.35. So, 43.25 is the value of each base angle, meaning that x = 43.25. Finally, the most appropriate answer to your question would be option 2!
Hope I was able to help! If you need any more help, please let me know and I will further assist you.
