You are measuring the height of a Ferris wheel at an amusement

Mathematics
1 answer:
VladimirAG [237]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

154 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A right triangle is formed, where the height of the wheel (h) is one leg,  the distance between you and the base of the wheel is the other leg, and the distance between you and the top of the wheel is the hypotenuse (the angle included between the last two sides is 51°)

From definition:

tan(51°) = opposite/adjacent

tan(51°) = h/125

h = tan(51°)*125

h = 154 ft

Find the cosine of ∠D.
Yuliya22 [10]
It should be 5/13 because the opposite angle from D is 12, which you would use if you are looking for sine. But, since you are looking for cosine, it is adjacent over hypotenuse. Therefore leaving you with 5/13, since your hypotenuse is always your longest side and the adjacent is the other side from the one opposite of the angle.
