Marcos is flying a kite 35 feet above an oak tree. The angle of elevation to the top of the tree is 16 degrees and the angle of
1 answer:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
195 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The relationship between the horizontal distance, angle, and vertical height is given by ...
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
Referring to the attached diagram, we have ...
tan(16°) = BT/MB
tan(25°) = BK/MB
Solving for BT and BK, we can describe their difference as ...
BT = MB·tan(16°)
BK = MB·tan(25°)
BK -BT = 35 = MB(tan(25°) -tan(16°))
Dividing by the coefficient of MB gives ...
MB = 35/(tan(25°) -tan(16°)) = 35/0.179562
MB = 195 . . . feet
Marcos is standing 195 feet from the base of the tree.
