1) 2.92• 10^-3 2) 2.16•10^7. 3)7.5•10^8
Answer:
A = 13 degrees
B = 65.3 degrees
C = 180 - (13 + 65.3) = 101.7 degrees
Side a = 35 km
Side b = 141.4 km
Side c = 152.4 km
That would be 18 yards.
Since 3 feet equals 1 yard, you must divide 54 by 3 and you get 18.
The problem says that <span>Brandon sights a helicopter above a building that is 200 feet away at an angle of elevation of 30 degrees. So, you can calculate the height asked, by following this procedure:
</span>
Tan(α)=Opposite leg/Adjacent leg
α=30°
Opposite leg=x
Adjacent leg=200 feet
When you substitute these values into the formula above (Tan(α)=Opposite leg/Adjacent leg), you have:
Tan(α)=Opposite leg/Adjacent leg
Tan(30°)=x/200
You must clear "x":
x=200xTan(30°)
Therefore, the value of "x" is:
x=115 feet
<span>
How high above the ground the is the helicopter?
The answer is: 115 feet</span>
