107.75m
This is a trigonometric ratio problem. the angle of depression (10) is opposite the height (19m) and the distance is adjacent to the distance (x). opposite ad adjacent sides to the angle is a tangent problem.
tan \theta = \frac{opp}{adj}
plus in values, we know.
tan (10) = \frac{19}{x}
switch tan(10) and x using the products property.
x = \frac{19}{tan (10)}
plug in to calulator to get answer
x=107.75

How do I solve b/4 = 9
frutty [35]
<span>Simplifying b4 = 9 Solving b4 = 9 Solving for variable 'b'. Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right. Simplifying b4 = 9 Reorder the terms: -9 + b4 = 9 + -9 Combine like terms: 9 + -9 = 0 -9 + b4 = 0 Factor a difference between two squares. (3 + b2)(-3 + b2) = 0</span>
