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
