Answer:

68.17m

Step-by-step explanation:

Please see attached a rough sketch of the scenario

Step one:

Given data

Height of victim= 4.5ft

The horizontal distance of the snipper from the building = 780ft

The angle of elevation= 5 degrees

Required

The vertical distance

The opposite= the vertical distance

789 ft = the adjacent

Step two:

Applying SOH CAH TOA

tan ∅= opp/adj

tan 5= opp/780

cross multiply we have

0.0874= opp/780

cross multiply we have

0.0874*780= opp

opp= 68.17m

The sniper shoots from a vertical distance of  68.17m

Given:

A figure of a circle and two secants on the circle from the outside of the circle.

To find:

The measure of angle KLM.

Solution:

According to the intersecting secant theorem, if two secant of a circle intersect each other outside the circle, then the angle formed on the intersection is half of the difference between the intercepted arcs.

Using intersecting secant theorem, we get

\angle KLM=\dfrac{1}{2}(Arc(JON)-Arc(KM))

(3x-4)=\dfrac{1}{2}(271-(x+6))

(3x-4)=\dfrac{1}{2}(271-x-6)

Multiply both sides by 2.

6x-8=265-x

Isolate the variable x.

6x+x=265+8

7x=273

Divide both sides by 7.

x=\dfrac{273}{7}

x=39

Now,

\angle KLM=(3x-4)^\circ

\angle KLM=(3(39)-4)^\circ

\angle KLM=(117-4)^\circ

\angle KLM=113^\circ

Therefore, the measure of angle KLM is 113 degrees.
