Question

I need some help with this

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 6.1 feet

b) 12.6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Using trigonometric ratios we know that:

$sin = \frac{opp}{hyp}\\cos = \frac{adj}{hyp}\\tan = \frac {opp}{adj}$

AKA SohCahToa.

To find the height, we will use sine.

$sin(26^o)= \frac{x}{14}\\14*sin(26^o)=\frac{x}{14}*14\\14sin(26^o)=x\\x=6.14$

To find the length we will use cosine.

$cos(26^o) = \frac{x}{14}\\14*cos(26^o)=\frac{x}{14}*14\\14cos(26^o)=x\\x=12.6$
