The angle of elevation from the hiker to the park ranger is the same as the angle of depression from the ranger to the hiker, 29°.
The tangent function of an angle is the ratio of the opposite side (500') to the adjacent side (x) in the right triangle shown. That is
tan(29°) = 500' / x
Multiplying the equation by x/tan(29°) gives
x = 500' / tan(29°)
x ≈ 500' / 0.5543
x ≈ 902 ft
Answer:
(3, -1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
3 4/33
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
$24
Step-by-step explanation:
Inversely proportional means that the two variables (price and weight in this case) will always have the same product. Therefore, we can write the following equation:
25 * x = 20 * 30 (where x is the price of a 25 oz. racquet)
25x = 600
x = $24
Angle a is 22.62 degrees
and
angle b is 67.38 degrees
