Answer:
219m
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the man observes the car with angle 15 before observing in 33 degrees.
For the first observation
The angle observation gives an angle if 33 degrees with the horizontal.
It gives a triangle which I'll attach to the que,
from the first triangle
Tan 33 = 100/y
Y= 100/ tan 33
Y = 153.99m.
This is the distance from the building to the distance where it was secondly observed( 33).
To find x
tan 15 = 100/(153.99+x)
153.99 + x = 100/ tan 15
153.99 + x = 373.21
The distance between the two observed angles
X= 219m.

Answer:
(b) 15.32
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use your triangle sense to answer this.
The side x will always be shorter than the hypotenuse, 20. This eliminates the last two choices.
If the angle is 45°, then the sides are equal at about 0.707 times the length of the hypotenuse. That would make them 0.707×20 = 14.14. Since the angle is greater than 45°, the opposite side will be greater than 14.14. Only one answer choice fits between 14 and 20: the second choice -- 15.32.

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relation ...
Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse
sin(50°) = x/20
x = 20×sin(50°) . . . . multiply by 20 to find x
x ≈ 15.32 . . . . . . . . . use your calculator to evaluate
