Answer:
19.0681
Explanation:
Given in the question that,
angle from ted to the dog = 60° with the ground
height of ted from the ground = 16ft
To find,
distance between dog and the door of ted's building
Considering the scenario make a right angle triangle:
By using pythagorus theorem:
Tan 40 = opposite / adjacent
Tan 40 = height / distance between dog and the door
Tan 40 = 16ft / x
x = 16 / tan40
x = 19.068057
x ≈ 19.0681 (nearest to thousand)
So, the dog need to walk 19.0681ft to reach the open door directly below Ted.
