Answer:
Horizontal distance between lifeguard and the person is 22 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: A lifeguard sees a person in distress.The eye level of the lifeguard is 15 feet above the ground. Angle of depression is 34°.
To find: Horizontal distance between lifeguard and the person.
Solution : If we draw a triangle then tan∅ = ![\frac{height}{base}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7Bheight%7D%7Bbase%7D)
Here base is the horizontal distance.
Now we put the values in the formula.
tan 34° = ![\frac{15}{base}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B15%7D%7Bbase%7D)
Or Base = ![\frac{15}{tan34}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B15%7D%7Btan34%7D)
= ![\frac{15}{0.675} = 22.22 feet](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B15%7D%7B0.675%7D%20%3D%2022.22%20feet)
So the answer is 22 feet.
