Dividing 20 by 100 gives us 1%. so 0.2 × 3 = 0.6 so it take 3 0.2s to get to 0.6. meaning 0.6 is 3% of 20.
Answer:
From the photo above i interpreted the question and drew a triangle to make it easier to solve
Tan is used to solve the question as we were given opposite (as height of the cliff) and to find Adjacent ( the distance between the foot of the cliff to the boat)
Tan θ =Opp/Adj
Tan 22°=15/a
Cross Multiply
aTanθ=15°
Divide both sides by Tan 22
aTan22/Tan22 = 15/Tan 22
a = 15/Tan 22°
a = 37.13 m
Therefore the distance between the foot of the cliff to the boat is 37.13 metres
