complete question:
An observer at the top of a 462-ft cliff measures the angle of depression from the top of the cliff to a point on the ground to be 5°. What is the distance from the base of the cliff to the point on the ground? Round to the nearest foot
Answer:
a ≈ 5281 ft
Explanation:
The observer at the top of a 462 ft cliff measures the angle of depression from the top of the cliff to a point on the ground to be 5°.
The angle of depression form the top of the cliff = 5°
The 5° is outside the triangle formed . To find the angle in the triangle we have to subtract 5° from 90°. 90° - 5° = 85° Note sum of an angle on a right angle is 90°.
using SOHCAHTOA principle we can solve for the distance from the base of the cliff to the point on the ground(a)
tan 85° = opposite / adjacent
tan 85° = a / 462
cross multiply
462 × tan 85° = a
a = 11.4300523 × 462
a = 5280.66 ft
a ≈ 5281 ft
To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the concept of overlap and constructive interference.
For this purpose we have that the constructive interference in waves can be expressed under the function
Where
a = Width of the slit
d = Distance of slit to screen
m = Number of order which represent the number of repetition of the spectrum
Angle between incident rays and scatter planes
At the same time the distance on the screen from the central point, would be
Where y = Represents the distance on the screen from the central point
PART A ) From the previous equation if we arrange to find the angle we have that
PART B) Equation both equations we have
Re-arrange to find a,
This equation will be balanced if the x is a 2 because there are two sodiums on the reactants sides so there must be two sodiums on the products side
Hope this helps
