Answer: The distance between the girls is 362.8 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
So we have two triangle rectangles that have a cathetus in common, with a length of 160 meters.
The adjacent angle to this cathetus is 40° for Anna, then the opposite cathetus (the distance between Anna and the tower) can be obtained with the relationship:
Tan(A) = opposite cath/adjacent cath.
Tan(40°) = X/160m
Tan(40°)*160m = 134.3 m
Now, we can do the same thing for Veronica, but in this case the angle adjacent to the tower is 55°
So we have:
Tan(55°) = X/160m
Tan(55°)*160m = X = 228.5 m
And we know that the girls are in opposite sides of the tower, so the distance between the girls is equal to the sum of the distance between each girl and the tower, then the distance between the girls is:
Dist = 228.5m + 134.3m = 362.8m
Interesting question. Good to know for computer science.
Suppose you have a function like
an = 3x - 2 Try the first couple
a1 = 3(1) - 2
a1 = 3 - 2
a1 = 1
a2 = 3(2) - 2
a2 = 6 - 2
a2 = 4 So each term differs by 3
a2 - a1 = 3
an = a_(n - 1) + 3
a3 = a2 + 3
a3 = 4 + 3
a3 = 7
a4 = a3 + 3
a4 = 7 + 3
a4 = 10
a5 = a4+ 3
a5 = 10 + 3
a5 = 13
I'll do one more and then check it.
a6 = a5 + 3
a6 = 13 + 3
a6 = 16
a6 = 3x -2
a6 = 3*6 - 2
a6 = 18 - 2
a6 = 16 which checks.
So the general formula is
an = a_(n - 1) * k if you were multiplying or
an = a_(n - 1) + k if you were adding. The key thing is that you are working with the previous term.
