The angle of elevation from the hiker to the park ranger is the same as the angle of depression from the ranger to the hiker, 29°.

The tangent function of an angle is the ratio of the opposite side (500') to the adjacent side (x) in the right triangle shown. That is
tan(29°) = 500' / x

Multiplying the equation by x/tan(29°) gives
x = 500' / tan(29°)
x ≈ 500' / 0.5543
x ≈ 902 ft

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

$22.68

Step-by-step explanation:

Meal Price =$18

Sales tax =6%

Tip = 20%

Total Price of the Meal =$18 + (6% of 18)+ (20% of 18)

=$18 + (0.06 X 18)+ (0.2 X 18)

=18+1.08+3.6

=$22.68

The total price of Alyssa's meal is $22.68.

A helicopter is hovering 450 feet above the ground. The angle of elevation

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The distance of helicopter from the injured person is 542.82 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The height of the hovering helicopter above the ground = h = 450 feet

The angle of elevation from injured person to helicopter = Ф = 56°

Or, Let the distance of of helicopter from person = x feet

Now, From Triangle

∵ Sin Ф = $\dfrac{\textrm Perendicular}{\textrm Hypotenuse}$

∴ Sin 56° = $\dfrac{\textrm h}{\textrm x}$

Or, 0.8290 = $\dfrac{\textrm 450}{\textrm x}$

Or , x = $\dfrac{\textrm 450}{\textrm 0.8290}$

I.e x = 542.82 feet

So, The distance from injured person to helicopter = 542.82 feet

Hence The distance of helicopter from the injured person is 542.82 feet Answer
