I don’t know for sure though
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
Answer:
hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question
answer :
<em>Daniels sister is not correct because the time that will be taken by Daniel will be greater than the initial total time taken by Daniel.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>First determine the time it will take Daniel to reach the Boat and the jogging time</u>
time = distance / rate
where distance can be calculated using this equation: sin 53° = 400 / x
hence x ( distance ) = 500 ft
rate = 150
therefore Time ( t ) to reach boat = 500 / 150 = 3.33 minutes
Time for jogging ( as calculated ) = 3.69 minutes
therefore total time taken by Daniel = 3.33 + 3.69 = 7.02 minutes
<u>Finally determine if Daniel's sister is correct that he should have swam to the boat ramp and then jogged </u>
lets assume Distance to swim = x ( according his sister )
determine the value of x =
therefore X = 1456.02 feet
∴
Total time to be taken if Daniel follows his sister's instruction = 1456.02 / 150 = 9.71 minutes
<em>Daniels sister is not correct because the time that will be taken by Daniel will be greater than the initial total time taken by Daniel.</em>
