Please help me and show all work thank you very much 20 points.

Answer 1

See attached picture for the answer:

Answer 2

Since the angle of depression is 10 degrees, the interior angle adjacent to the angle of depression is 90-10, or 80 degrees

Since the cosine the adjacent angle divided by the hypotenuse, we can use the cosine to help us solve this question. Divide 500 by the cosine of 80 degrees.

$\dfrac{500}{\cos(80)} \approx 2897.4$

This may seem large, but this should be the answer for x. I hope this helps! ;)
