From the top of a light house, Jim sees a rescue boat at an angle of depression of 20° . He knows the lighthouse is 28m high. How far away is the base of the light house is the boat? correct to 2 decimal places.
tan θ= O/A
tan 70 = x/28
x = tan (70) x 28
= 76.93m
A woman flies a kite with a 100m long string. The angle of elevation of the string is 52°. How high off the ground is the kite to the nearest metre?
sin θ= O/H
sin52= x/100
x= sin (52) x 100
= 79m
