Question

I don’t know how to start with drawing the diagram for this question.

Answer 1

Consider right triangles ADB and ADC in the figure, right angle D.

By alternate transversals ABD=63° and ACD=11°.

$\tan 63 = \dfrac 8 y$

$\tan 11 = \dfrac 8{x+y}$

$y = \dfrac{8}{\tan 63}$

$x = -y + \dfrac{8}{\tan 11}$

$x = \dfrac{8}{\tan 11} - \dfrac{8}{\tan 63}$

$x \approx 37.08 \textrm{ meters}$

That's in one second, so

Answer: 37 meters per second
