Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The engineer can use a clinometer to measure the angle of elevation of the top of the tree. Let the height of the tree be represented by x, the she could determine the distance across the river, d, by applying the trigonometric function.
Tan θ = 
= 
the the distance, d = x ÷ Tan θ
Assume the angle of elevation of the top of the tree is 
, and the height of the tree is 10 m, then the distance, d, across the river would be;
d = 
= 17.3190
d = 17.32 m

Answer:
(c)
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle
cos42° = 
= 
Multiply both sides by 12
12 × cos42° = x, hence
x ≈ 8.9 → (c)

Answer:
Erie to Rochester is 145 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
If we designate the points of interest as C, E, and R, we are told that ...
CE + ER = CR . . . . . the various distances are segments of a straight line
For CE = 94 and CR = 239, we can fill in the given information and solve for ER.
94 + ER = 239
ER = 239 -94 . . . . . . subtract 94 from both sides of the equation
ER = 145
The distance from Erie to Rochester is 145 miles.
