Answer:

The height of the tower is 130.5m

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question, we are given the following values:

The angles of elevation to the top of the tower from P = 50°

The angles of elevation to the top of the tower from Q = 45°

The angles of elevation to the top of the tower from P = 50°

Hence,cot P = 1/ tan(50°)

The angles of elevation to the top of the tower from Q = 45°

Hence, tan 45° = 1

In the question,we are told Points P and Q lie 240 m apart in line with and on opposite sides of a communications tower.

Therefore,

PQ = height of the tower( tan Q + 1/tan P)

240m = height of the tower( tan 45° + 1/ tan 50°)

240m = h(1 + 1/tan 50°)

h = (240 m)/(1 + 1/tan (50°))

h = 130.49863962 meters

Therefore, the height of the tower to the nearest tenth of a meter is 130.5 meters(m)

Assume that all triangles have interior angles less than 90°.A surveyor sights on a survey marker that is 132.3m distant. She ne
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

  85.9 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of sines can help figure this.

The remaining angle in the triangle is ...

  180° -75° -68° = 37°

This is the angle opposite the leg from the surveyor to the second marker. Referencing the attachment, we have ...

  b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)

  b = sin(B)·c/sin(C) = 132.3·sin(37°)/sin(68°) ≈ 85.873 . . . meters

The surveyor is about 85.9 meters from the second marker.
