Question

A hiker stops to rest and sees a deer in the distance. If the hiker is 48 yards lower than the deer and the angle of elevation from the hiker to the deer is 15°, find the distance from the hiker to the deer.

Answer 1

Answer: 46.9

Explanation:

use Equation for cos15°

cos15°=48y/distance

0.9659=48/Distance

distance=48/0.96592

distance=49.69 yard
