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
Answer:
Tap B fills 4/5 in a minute.
Step-by-step explanation:
3 4/5-10/11
14/5-10/11=4/5
The answer is A. After you square root both sides, you have to add 3 to both sides and then divide both sides by 4.
