Answer: 113.0 ft (bottom right corner)
=====================================
Explanation:
The triangle has a horizontal leg of 220 ft and a vertical leg of x ft. We'll use the tangent rule to connect the opposite side and adjacent side
opposite side = x
adjacent side = 220
this is with the reference angle shown in the diagram
So,
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(26) = x/220
220*tan(26) = x
x = 220*tan(26)
x = 107.301169 ... see note below
x = 107.3
Now that we know the approximate value of x, we add on 5.7 to get
x+5.7 = 107.3+5.7 = 113.0
note: make sure your calculator is in degree mode. The value is approximate to 6 decimal places
Let distance form the pole = x and height of the hill = y ft
now we can set up 2 equayions
tan 18 = (40-y)/x
tan 14 = y/x
from second equation y = sxtan14 so we have:-
tan 18 = ( 40 - x tan 14) / x
x tan 18 = 40 - x tan 14
x(tan 18 + tan 14) = 40
x = 40 / (tan18 + tan 14) = 69.66 feet Answer
2y to the second power= 4y
