Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Refer to picture.</em>
Let the distance to men are x and y and the distance between them is d.
The angle of depreciation is 27° and 30°, hence top angle of the triangle is 63° or 60°.
<u>Find the distance from the tower to men:</u>
- x = 20 tan 63° = 39.25 m
- y = 20 tan 60° = 34.64 m
<u>The distance between men is:</u>
- d =
<em>Note, all numbers are rounded</em>
I believe that in this problem, we are asked for the hypotenuse of the triangle that can be formed when we make a right triangle out of the planes and the intersection of their paths. To solve for the hypotenuse of a right triangle, we make use of the equation,
h² = 64.2² + 85.7²
The value of h from the equation is equal to 106.0 miles.
Answer: You can't solve this without knowing either x or y
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: x=1 y=3....do you need to show your work?
