Sparky the Bear is atop a 100 foot tower. He is looking out over a fairly level area for careless people who might start fires.

Suddenly, he sees a fire starting. He marks down the direction of the fire, but he also needs to know how far away the tower is from the fire.

The distance of sparky to the fire is 99.445 feet

<h3>Application of SOH CAH TOA identity</h3>

Given the following parameters

The angle of depression = 6  degrees

If Sparky is looking over the fairly level, hence the hypotenuse is 100 foot

Required

Distance from spark tower to the fire

Using the expression below

Cos 6 = D/100

D = 100cos6

D = 100(0.9945)
D = 99.45foot

Hence the distance of sparky to the fire is 99.445 feet

Answer:

Incomplete question

Complete question;

A group of eight golfers paid $430 to play a round of golf . Of the golfers one was a member and 7 were not.

Another group of golfers consists of two members and one nonmember. They paid a total of $75. What is the cost for a member to play a round of golf, and what is the cost for a nonmember?

Answer: X = $82.695 for members

Y = $49.615 for non members

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use X to denote members and Y for non-members.

Therefore, amount paid by one member to play + amount paid by 7 non-members to play = 430

X + 7Y = 430. . .1

Amount paid by 2 members to play + amount paid by one non-member to play = 215

2X + Y = 215. . .2

Solving both equations simultaneously

X+7Y = 430

2X +Y = 215

Therefore, from eqn 1. X = 430-7y

Substituting this into wan 2 gives

2(430-7Y) + Y = 215

860-14Y + Y = 215

860-215 =13Y

645 = 13y

Y = 49.615

Therefore substituting Y = 49.615 into any equation above

X + 7(49.615) = 430

X = 430-347.05

X = 82.695
