Answer:
B = 612.2 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution:-
- The elevation of person, H = 235 ft
- The angle of depression, θ = 21°
- We will sketch a right angle triangle with Height (H), and Base (B) : the boat's distance to the edge of the cliff and the angle (θ) between B and the direct line of sight distance.
- We will use trigonometric ratios to determine the distance between boat and the edge of the cliff, using tangent function.
tan ( θ ) = H / B
B = H / tan ( θ )
B = 235 / tan ( 21 )
B = 612.2 ft
Hello,
I would love to answer but there is no screenshot to see!
Switch y and x to find the inverse:
x = 3y - 8
Now just solve for y
y = x/3 + 8/3
