Two fire rangers in watch towers that are 10 miles apart spotted a fire at the same time. The first ranger indicated that the po

sition of the fire made an angle of 39° with the line between the towers. The second ranger indicated that it made an angle of 34° with the same line. How far is the second tower from the fire?

Answer:5.455 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the height of watch towers are same(h)

and distance between them is 10 miles

first ranger indicated angle=39^{\circ}

second ranger indicated angle=34^{\circ}

let x be the distance from second ranger to fire

thus \frac{h}{10-x}=tan34

\frac{h}{x}=tan39

equating h values

10tan39=1.48429x

x=5.444  miles

Which of the following terms correctly describe the object below?
erica [24]

Answer:

a polyhedron is a three dimensional shape with flat polygonal faces, straight edges and sharp corners or vertices.

a structure whose outer surfaces are triangular and converge to a single step at the top, making the shape roughly a pyramid in the geometric sense

polygon with three edges and three vertices. It is one of the basic shapes in geometry. A triangle with vertices A, B, and C is denoted.

solid geometry is the traditional name for the geometry of three-dimensional Euclidean space. Stereometry deals with the measurements of volumes of various solid figures including pyramids, prisms and other polyhedrons; cylinders; cones; truncated cones; and balls bounded by spheres

a solid geometric figure whose two end faces are similar, equal, and parallel rectilinear figures, and whose sides are parallelograms.

Step-by-step explanation:

\cos(300 \degree)  \\  \\  = \cos(360 \degree - 60\degree)  \\  \\  = \cos( 60\degree) \\  \\  =  \frac{1}{2}  \\  \\  \huge \orange{ \boxed{ \therefore \: \cos(300 \degree)  = \frac{1}{2}  }}
