Answer:
The distance of flag post from Y is 38.13 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider point Y at the intersection of both lines as shown below. Now the point X lies 34 meter from point Y in east direction.
Now flag pole at point X lies at a bearing of N18°W. That is at point X from north, flag post makes an angle of 18° towards west.
Similarly flag pole at point Y lies at a bearing of N40°E. That is at point Y from north, flag post makes an angle of 40° towards east.
Consider ∆ AXY as right angle triangle. Therefore measure of angle FXY is,
Consider ∆ BYX as right angle triangle. Therefore measure of angle FYX is,
Refer attachment 1.
From diagram consider the triangle FYX. To find the third angle that is ∠YFX can be calculated by using angle sum property of triangle.
∠YFX+∠FYX+∠FXY=180°
∠YFX+50°+72°=180°
∠YFX=58°
Refer attachment 2.
Now the distance FY can be calculated using sin rule as follows,
Substituting the values,
Simplifying first two terms,
