Answer:3.677 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
First we have to know that the distance between two consecutive milestone is 1mile, I have attached a diagram representing the problem, point C being the point of the balloon and point A and point B being the points of the consecutive milestones
I labelled the horizontal length between the balloon and the first milestone x and the height of the balloon h
From the diagram, we use the tan rule for right angle triangles to find x and h
Tan22=h/x
Making her the subject of formula
h=xtan22 (1)
Similarly
Tan20=h/(x+1)
h=(x+1)tan20 (2)
Putting (1) and (2) together
We solve for x, and then input our value for in (1) to get the value for h, the solution is in the second picture I sent
Note: tan rule says the tan of an angle is equal to the opposite side of the triangle(side directly facing the angle) divided by the adjacent side of the triangle( side of the triangle the angle is resting on)
Angle of depression from C to B is also angle of elevation from B to C( alternate angle are equal)
Step-by-step explanation:
(given)
Let us consider :
=
=
=
=
=
Now, by substituting the above considerations in the above equation, we get:
where,
1
then it follows
n = 20
r = 4
then no. of solutions for the eqn =
=
= 10626
Answer :
no. of solutions for the eqn 10626
