Answer:

3293 ft to nearest tenth = side

Step-by-step explanation:

To find altitude this is the same in trigonometry as finding the side and we use calculation below in finding the hypotenuse which is same term as side for the angle of depression just to double check that height (altitude is less than slope in calculation).

sin (32) = 0.9271838546

3600/0.9271838546 = 3882.725074

= 3883 ft to nearest tenth. = slope

Then cos (32)x3882.725074 = 3292.737608

= 3293 ft to nearest tenth = side

Anettt [7]
Well the increase is 132/120. Simplify by dividing 12 from the numerator and the denominator, you should get 11/10.
11/10 is also 110%

Solve the triangle. Round your answers to the nearest tenth.
wel

Answer:

m∠A ≈ 43°

m∠B ≈ 55°

mBC ≈ 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Law of Sines: \frac{a}{sinA} =\frac{b}{sinB} =\frac{c}{sinC}

Step 1: Find m∠B

\frac{29}{sin82} =\frac{24}{sinB}

Step 2: Solve for ∠B

29sinB = 24sin82°

sinB = 24sin82°/29

B = sin⁻¹(24sin82°/29)

B = 55.038°

Step 3: Find m∠A

180 - (55.038 + 82)

180 - 137.038

m∠A = 42.962°

Step 4: Find BC

\frac{29}{sin82} =\frac{BC}{sin42.962}

Step 5: Solve for BC

29sin42.962° = BCsin82°

BC = 29sin42.962°/sin82°

BC = 19.9581
