Answer:
69.01 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you ...
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
The tangent function is useful for problems like this. Let the height of the spire be represented by h. The distance (d) across the plaza from the first surveyor satisfies the relation ...
tan(50°) = (h -1.65)/d
Rearranging to solve for d, we have ...
d = (h -1.65)/tan(50°)
The distance across the plaza from the second surveyor satisfies the relation ...
tan(30°) = (101.65 -h)/d
Rearranging this, we have ...
d = (101.65 -h)/tan(30°)
Equating these expressions for d, we can solve for h.
(h -1.65)/tan(50°) = (101.65 -h)/tan(30°)
h(1/tan(50°) +1/tan(30°)) = 101.65/tan(30°) +1.65/tan(50°)
We can divide by the coefficient of h and simplify to get ...
h = (101.65·tan(50°) +1.65·tan(30°))/(tan(30°) +tan(50°))
h ≈ 69.0148 ≈ 69.01 . . . . meters
The tip of the spire is 69.01 m above the plaza.
Supposse that the distance from the point to the point
is equal to the distance from
to the point
. Then, by the formula of the distnace we must have
cancel the square root and the 's, and then expand the parenthesis to obtain
then, simplifying we obtain
therfore we must have
this means that the points satisfying the propertie must have first component equal to 5. So we can give a lot of examples of such points: . The set of this points give us a straight line and the points (3,0) and (7,0) are symmetric with respect to this line.
