Answer:
Let the distance between woman and pole be "x".
From diagram,
In ΔOAB,
tan 18 =
tan 18 =
∴ x = ................ (1)
In ΔOBC
tan 14 =
tan 14 =
y = x × tan 14 ..............(2)
equating (2) in (1), we get;
x =
x =
∵ tan 18 + tan 14 = 0.574
<em>∴ x = 113.2 ft</em>
<em>i.e. The her distance from the pole is 113.2 ft.</em>
Answer:
Right side towards positive x axis
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us see the basic rule to find the orientation of parabolas.
1. If power if x is 2 and y is 1 , the parabola opens up or down.
2. If the power of y is 2 and that of x is 1 , the parabola opens right or left.
3. If the coefficient of in case 1 is negative it opens downward
4. If the coefficient of in case 2 is negative , it opens left towards negative x axis.
Hence our equation is
here is satisfies the case 2. hence it opens right or left . Also the coefficient of
is positive so it opens up to the right side , that is towards positive x axis.
