Answer:

79.9 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you draw out the problem, you can easily visualize it.

We are given the opposite side length and the angle, and we need to find the adjacent. So, we will use tangent (soh cah toa - tangent: opposite/adjacent).

tan(53) = (100 + 6) / x

tan(53) = 106 / x

x = 106 / (tan(53))

x = 106 / 1.327044822

x = 79.87672931

Round your answer to the nearest tenth!

So, the park is approximately 79.9 feet away!

Hope this helps!

What is the best approximation of the length of segment QS? (Note: cos 80° = 0.17)

matrenka [14]

Answer: $QS=11.8cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You have the following information:

- The lenght of $RS$ is 2 centimeters.

- The angle m∠S=80°.

- Cos80°=0.17

2. Therefore, you can calculate the lenght of the segment $QS$ as following:

$cos80=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$

$adjacent=2cm\\hypotenuse=QS\\cos80=0.17$

3. Substitute values and solve for $QS$ :

$0.17=\frac{2cm}{QS}\\QS=\frac{2cm}{0.17} \\QS=11.76cm$

4. To the nearest tenth:

$QS=11.8cm$
