Three locations are marked next to a river. Points B and C are on the same side of the river, and point A is on the other side o

f the river. To find the distance AB across a river, a distance BC of 241 meters is laid off on one side of the river. It is found that the angle at point B is 108.6° and the angle at point C is 14.9°. Find the distance AB (across the river). Round to the nearest meter.

Answer:

74.31353

=74 m

Step-by-step explanation:

given that three  locations are marked next to a river. Points B and C are on the same side of the river, and point A is on the other side of the river. To find the distance AB across a river, a distance BC of 241 meters is laid off on one side of the river. It is found that the angle at point B is 108.6° and the angle at point C is 14.9°.

we have information about triangle ABC as side BC =241, Angle B = 108.6 and angle C = 14.9 degrees.

Hence this is an obtuse scalene triangle.

Angle ∠A = 56.5° (III angle)

Using sine formula we get

\frac{AB}{sin 14.6} =\frac{BC}{sin 56.5} \\AB = 74.31353

So distance AB is 74 metres.

You stand 50 feet from a monument. The angle of depression from the top of the monument to your feet is 64 degrees. Approximatel
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

The monument is approximately 86.6 feet tall

Step-by-step explanation:

The given monument parameters are;

The distance of the person from the monument = 50 feet

The angle of depression from the top of the monument to the person's feet = 64°

Given that the angle of elevation to the top of the monument from the person's feet = The angle of depression from the top of the monument to the person's feet, we have;

tan(Angle of depression) = tan(Angle of elevation) = (The height of the monument)/(The distance from the monument)

∴ The height of the monument = tan(Angle of depression) × The distance from the monument

Substituting the known values, gives;

The height of the monument = tan(60°) × 50 ≈ 86.6

The height of the monument ≈ 86.6 feet.
