Answer: The distance from the campsite to the foot of the mountain is 2310 ft (approx)
Step-by-step explanation: We have been given that the scout on the mountain top has spotted a campsite and he did so while looking down from a 33° angle of depression. If we label his position as point A, the foot of the mountain as point B and the campsite as point C, then it means the scout has formed an angle of 57° between point A and point B. Now we have a right angled triangle ABC with angle A measuring 57°
Using the trigonometrical ratio of tangent
Tan A = opposite/adjacent
Tan 57 = BC/1500
1.5399 = BC/1500
When you cross multiply both sides you have
1.5399 × 1500 = BC
2309.85 = BC
Approximated to the nearest foot,
BC = 2,310 ft
5 I guess I don't know if it's the right answer
Answer:
18.=400%
Step-by-step explanation:
80/20 we get 4 then we multiple 4 ×100 we get 400 and we check the answer 400% ×20 =80
