Answer:
1) 19.07 m, 2) 80.10 ft, 3) 56.79 m
Explanation:
Use
trigonometry
to solve for unknowns.
1) Use sine
sine = opposite leg / hypotenuse
sin 27° = x/42
x = 42 sin 27°
x =
19.07 m
(rounded)
2) Use tangent
tangent = opposite leg / adjacent leg
tan 23° = 34/x
x = 34 / tan 23°
x =
80.10 ft
3) Use cosine
cosine = adjacent leg / hypotenuse
cos 48° = 38/x
x = 38 / cos 48°
x =
56.79 m
(rounded)
