Answer:
40 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The deck is at a height of 520 ft. She sees her friend on the ground below at an angle of depression of 85.6 degrees.
To Find : What is the distance between the two? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot.
Solution :
Refer the attached figure
Height of deck =AB =520 ft.
Angle of depression ∠C = 85.6°
We are supposed to find length of BC i.e. distance between two.
We will use trigonometric ratios :





Thus the distance between two is 40 feet

Answer:
- sin(Ф) = (4/41)√41; csc(Ф) = (√41)/4
- cos(Ф) = (5/41)√41; sec(Ф) = (√41)/5
- tan(Ф) = 4/5; cot(Ф) = 5/4
Step-by-step explanation:
The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA can help you with three of the functions. Then you need to remember the relations between those and the other three.
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
tan(Ф) = 4/5
This suggests you can draw a triangle like the one attached that has adjacent side 5 and opposite side 4. Then hypotenuse can be found from the Pythagorean theorem:
AC² = AB² +BC² = 5² +4² = 41
AC = √41 . . . . . hypotenuse
Then the other trig functions are ...
Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse
sin(Ф) = 4/√41 = (4/41)√41
Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
cos(Ф) = 5/√41 = (5/41)√41
And the reciprocal functions are ...
csc(Ф) = 1/sin(Ф) = (√41)/4
sec(Ф) = 1/cos(Ф) = (√41)/5
cot(Ф) = 1/tan(Ф) = 5/4
Answer: 2.4
Step-by-step explanation:
4/5 x 3 = 2 and 3/5
2 and 3/5 converted into decimal is 2.4
