Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Points:
Required
Determine the equation of line that is perpendicular to the given points and that pass through
First, we need to determine the slope, m of FG
Where
---
---
The question says the line is perpendicular to FG.
Next, we determine the slope (m2) of the perpendicular line using:
The equation of the line is then calculated as:
Where
Multiply through by 2
Add x to both sides
Hence, the line of the equation is
Answer:
84.5 m
Step-by-step explanation:
It is often helpful to draw a diagram for word problems involving geometric relationships. One for this problem is shown below.
The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relationship between sides of a right triangle:
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
Here we're given angles of depression measured from the horizontal (as shown in the diagram), but it is more convenient to use angles measured from the vertical. In particular, ∠BAO is the complement of 60°, and its tangent is the ratio OB/OA:
tan(30°) = OB/OA
OB = (200 m)·tan(30°) ≈ 115.47 m . . . . . . multiply by OA, use OA=200 m
Likewise, we have ...
OC = (200 m)·tan(45°) = 200 m
Then the width of the river is the difference between these values:
BC = OC -OB = 200 m - 115.47 m = 84.53 m
