Answer:

15.95 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Angle of elevation = 62°

Using trigonometric relation :

Tanθ = opposite / Adjacent

From the drawing attached :

Opposite = 30 feets

Distance between girl and lighthouse = d

Tan 62 = 30 / d

1.8807264 * d = 30

d = 30 / 1.8807264

d = 15.951283

d = 15.95 feets

Find the measure of ∠C to the nearest degree.
Alisiya [41]
Well, sine is \bf sin(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse},

but from the angle C, the opposite side, the one facing it off, is the side
AB, and we dunno what the side AB is

however, we know the hypotenuse is 8, and the adjacent side is 7,

and is right-triangle, thus, let us use the pythagorean theorem,

\bf c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \sqrt{c^2-a^2}=b\qquad 
\begin{cases}
c=hypotenuse\\
a=adjacent\\
b=opposite
\end{cases}
\\\\
thus
\\\\
\sqrt{8^2-7^2}=b=AB

now, that we know what the opposite side is, that is AB, then
we can find the sine of angle C \bf sin(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\implies sin(C)=\cfrac{\overline{AB}}{\overline{BC}}
