Answer:

246.979 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

When we draw our picture, we should be able to see that the angle of depression from the point of view is equal to the angle of elevation from the ground. We also know the height, and we are trying to find horizontal <em>x</em>. We must use tan∅ to solve:

tan39° = 200/x

xtan39° = 200

x = 200/tan39°

x = 246.979

1. What is the measure of each interior angle of a regular hexagon?
Volgvan

1. The formula is 180(n-2)/n, where n=sides. so hexagon has 6 sides, so it would be 180(6-2)/6=180(4)/6=720°/6=60° per side.

2. The sum of measures of ANY polygon is ALWAYS 360°

3.  Notice that there are 6 sides. This means the total interior angles are 720°. x=127°

4. now, it's talking about a SINGLE exterior angle. So the interior angle is always 360/n, where n=5 here, so 360=5=72°
