Answer:
20.833 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The light reflects off the mirror at the same angle that it hits it at. So the triangle formed by the beam and mirror is similar to the triangle formed by Kevin and the mirror.
Therefore, we can write and solve a proportion.
h / 10 = 6.25 / 3
h = 20.833
The beam is 20.833 feet tall.
Answer:
a. and 41.6
b. 52.1
Step-by-step explanation:
a.
Considering the left side triangle the blue dotted side is the side "opposite" to the angle given and the side 24 is the side that is "adjacent" to the angle given. The trigonometric ratio tan relates opposite to adjacent. Also, let the blue dotted side be y.
<u>Note:</u> the exact value of tan 60 is
Thus, we can write
Approximate value (rounded to nearest tenth):
b.
Considering the triangle to the right, the side "opposite" to the angle given (53 degrees) is 41.6 (just found in part (a)) and the side "hypotenuse" (side opposite to 90 degree angle) is x. The trigonometric ratio sine relates opposite and hypotenuse.
Thus we can write and solve:
