Answer:

  384.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the trig relation involving sides adjacent and opposite the angle. Here, the road distance is adjacent to the angle of depression, and the altitude is opposite. So, you have ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

  tan(7.5°) = (300 ft)/(distance to car 1)

  tan(9°) = (300 ft)/(distance to car 2)

Solving for the distances, we have ...

  distance to car 1 = (300 ft)/tan(7.5°) ≈ 2278.73 ft

  distance to car 2 = (300 ft)/tan(9°) ≈ 1894.13 ft

Then the separation between the cars is ...

  distance apart = 2278.73 ft - 1894.13 ft

  distance apart = 384.6 ft

avanturin [10]
In this question, it's asking you to find the number when 90 is subtracted by 35%. So, you find 35% of 90 which is 31.5 and you minus it from 90 = 58.5.

> 90 x 35% = 31.5
> 90 - 31.5 = 58.5
