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

What are a) the ratio of the perimeters and b) the ratio of the ratio of the areas of the larger figure to the smaller figure
vfiekz [6]
Assuming that the figures given are square such that the scale factor between them is equal to 28/8 which can be further simplified into 7/2. The ratio of the perimeter is also equal to this value, 7/2. However, the ratio of the areas is equal to the square of this value giving us an answer of 49/4.
