Answer:

Here are the steps I think you probably will go through.

1. Draw a line that is longer than the segment but shorter than the width of the page.

1a. Make sure this line is at least 1/2 inch from the left hand side.

2. Use a compass to measure the length of the original segment. Never use a ruler. Rulers do not exist in pure geometry.

3. Measure out the distance on the line you just drew with the compass. One end is on the left hand edge and the other end (the pencil end) is marking the segment so it is the same length as the compass. You are done.

The key step either two or three.

To input your angle measures in degrees, use the functions sind, cosd and tand, instead of sin, cos and tan. Zach stands at the

kramer

Answer:

about 2949 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometry of the situation can be modeled by a right triangle. The height of the cliff can be taken to be the side opposite the given angle, and the distance to the coyote will be the side adjacent to the given angle. The relation between these values is the trig function ...

Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

<h3>setup</h3>

Filling in the known values, we have ...

tan(6°) = (310 ft)/(distance to coyote)

<h3>solution</h3>

Multiplying by (distance to coyote)/tan(6°) gives ...

distance to coyote = (310 ft)/tan(6°) ≈ 310/0.105104 ft

distance to coyote ≈ 2949.453 ft

The coyote is about 2949 feet from the base of the cliff.
