Answer:

<em>The helicopter is 27.38 m far off the ground</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The drawing shown in the image below has all the measures and variables needed to solve the problem.

We need to find R, the height of the helicopter. We'll use the law of sines to find the length of side a.

\displaystyle \frac{28}{\sin X}=\frac{a}{\sin 54^\circ}

The angle X is the measure needed to complete 180°:

X = 180° - 54° - 62° = 64°

Solving for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{28}{\sin 64^\circ}\cdot \sin 54^\circ

Calculating:

a = 31.11 m

Now using the sine ratio in the right triangle to the left side:

\displaystyle \sin 62^\circ=\frac{R}{a}

Solving for R:

R=a\sin 62^\circ

R=31.11*0.88

R = 27.38 m

The helicopter is 27.38 m far off the ground

Answer:

m<RST = 32°

m<TSQ = 58°

Step-by-step explanation:

m<RST here, meaning the angle of the whole diagram is 90 degrees as you can see.

m<RSQ + m<TSQ = m<RST

15x — 43 + 8x + 18 = 90

23x — 25 = 90

       +25     +25

---------------------------

23x = 115

/23      /23

----------------------------

x = 5

Now, plug this into the equation for m<RSQ and m<TSQ to find their values.

m<RSQ = 15x — 43

= 15x - 43

= 15(5) - 43

= 75 - 43

= 32

m<TSQ = 8x + 18

= 8x + 18

= 8(5) + 18

= 40 + 18

= 58

Now, check to see if our values are right or not.

15x — 43 + 8x + 18 = 90

15(5) — 43 + 8(5) + 18 = 90

75 - 43 + 40 + 18 = 90

32 + 40 + 18 = 90

90 = 90 <u>CORRECT</u>
