Question

I need some help with this

Answer 1

a) 6.1 feet

b) 12.6 feet

Explanation:

Using trigonometric ratios we know that:

`sin = (opp)/(hyp)\\cos = (adj)/(hyp)\\tan = \frac {opp}{adj}`

AKA SohCahToa.

To find the height, we will use sine.

`sin(26^o)= (x)/(14)\\14*sin(26^o)=(x)/(14)*14\\14sin(26^o)=x\\x=6.14`

To find the length we will use cosine.

`cos(26^o) = (x)/(14)\\14*cos(26^o)=(x)/(14)*14\\14cos(26^o)=x\\x=12.6`
