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

Given the circle with the equation (x + 1)2 + y2 = 36, determine the location of each point with respect to the graph of the cir

kati45 [8]

$\bf \textit{equation of a circle}\\\\ 
(x- h)^2+(y- k)^2= r^2
\qquad 
center~~(\stackrel{}{ h},\stackrel{}{ k})\qquad \qquad 
radius=\stackrel{}{ r}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
(x+1)^2+y^2=36\implies [x-(\stackrel{h}{-1})]^2+[y-\stackrel{k}{0}]^2=\stackrel{r}{6^2}~~~~
\begin{cases}
\stackrel{center}{(-1,0)}\\
\stackrel{radius}{6}
\end{cases}$

so, that's the equation of the circle, and that's its center, any point "ON" the circle, namely on its circumference, will have a distance to the center of 6 units, since that's the radius.

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}
\\\\
(\stackrel{x_1}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})\qquad 
A(\stackrel{x_2}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{1})\qquad \qquad 
% distance value
d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{distance}{d}=\sqrt{[-1-(-1)]^2+(1-0)^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(-1+1)^2+1^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{0+1}\implies d=1$

well, the distance from the center to A is 1, namely is "inside the circle".

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}
\\\\
(\stackrel{x_1}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})\qquad 
B(\stackrel{x_2}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{6})\\\\\\
\stackrel{distance}{d}=\sqrt{[-1-(-1)]^2+(6-0)^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(-1+1)^2+6^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{0+36}\implies d=6$

notice, the distance to B is exactly 6, and you know what that means.

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}
\\\\
(\stackrel{x_1}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})\qquad 
C(\stackrel{x_2}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-8})
\\\\\\
\stackrel{distance}{d}=\sqrt{[4-(-1)]^2+[-8-0]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(4+1)^2+(-8)^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{25+64}\implies d=\sqrt{89}\implies d\approx 9.43398$

notice, C is farther than the radius 6, meaning is outside the circle, hiking about on the plane.
