Question

From a point at the waters edge, a bridge arch 53 m away has an angle of elevation of 30, and the top of a yacht mast 14 m away has an angle of elevation of 12°. Can the yacht pass under the bridge?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

We don't  even have to do a calculation.  

The arch of the bridge is at point C.

The top of the yacht's mast is at E.

Even though the yacht is much closer to the water's edge, its mast has a much smaller angle of elevation.

The yacht can easily pass under the bridge.
