Answer:
54.8 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume that the distance of interest is the direct line distance from the observation point to the bottom of the monument, segment PH in the diagram below.
This can be found using the Law of Sines.
∠PMH is the complement of the angle of elevation to the top of the monument, so is 40°.
∠MPH is the difference in the angles of elevation, so is 28°.
__
The Law of Sines tells us the ratio of side lengths is the same as the ratio of the sines of the opposite angles, so ...
PH/MH = sin(∠PMH)/sin(∠MPH) = sin(40°)/sin(28°)
Multiplying by MH, we can find the length of PH:
PH = (40 ft)(sin(40°)/sin(28°)) ≈ 54.7669 ft
PH ≈ 54.8 ft . . . . the distance Pete must climb to reach the monument.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The measure of arc which the right triange cuts from the circle is this means the central angle has the same measure.
Angle with measure is inscribed angle subtended on the given arc. Its measure is half the measure of the central angle, hence
Angles with measures and
are complementary angles (add up to 90°), so
