Chris is standing due south of a 20m flagpole at a point where the angle of elevation of the top of the pole is 35. Brandyn is s
tanding due east of the flagpole at a point where the angle of elevation of the top of the pole is 27. How far is Brandyn from Chris?
1 answer:
Answer:
Brandyn is 41.48m from Chris
Step-by-step explanation:
I have drawn an image depicting this question and I've attached it.
From the diagram, chris is standing at point B while Brandyn is at point D. x is the distance of brandyn to the bottom of the pole.
The height of the pole is AC.
Now, by trigonometric ratio, we can find AC. Thus;
AC/20 = tan 35
AC = 20 tan 35
AC = 14
Since,we now have AC, we can find x.
Similarly, 14/x = tan 27
x = 14 / tan 27
x = 27.48 m
Thus, total distance of brandyn from Chris = 14 + 27.48 = 41.48 m

Step 1:
Here we have -3 in subtraction on the left side, so when we take it to the right we apply opposite operation of subtraction that is addition.
Step 2:
Next we have 4 in multiplication on left side, so dividing right side by 4,
Step 3:
taking log on both sides
Step 4:
Dividing right side by 2,
x= ln (3.75) /2 = 0.66088
Answer : x = 0.66088..
Answer:
2^3 X 2^5 = 2^8
when multiplying indices with the same base number just add the indices
