Answer:

The monument is approximately 86.6 feet tall

Step-by-step explanation:

The given monument parameters are;

The distance of the person from the monument = 50 feet

The angle of depression from the top of the monument to the person's feet = 64°

Given that the angle of elevation to the top of the monument from the person's feet = The angle of depression from the top of the monument to the person's feet, we have;

tan(Angle of depression) = tan(Angle of elevation) = (The height of the monument)/(The distance from the monument)

∴ The height of the monument = tan(Angle of depression) × The distance from the monument

Substituting the known values, gives;

The height of the monument = tan(60°) × 50 ≈ 86.6

The height of the monument ≈ 86.6 feet.

What is the equation and the answer?
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

So we begin by assigning variables to each side with:

DE = x

EF = y

DF = z

Now we start listing a system of equations from what is given:

x+y+z=81

x=2y

x-4=z

Once we solve that with substitution, we get the result of:

x=34

y=17

z=30.

Since z is the length of DF, the length of DF is 30.

I hope this helped! :D
