Question

Could someone please explain this? I know you’re suppose to use sine, cosine, or tangent but I don’t know how to put everything together in this problem :( I keep trying for the answer but it keeps saying I’m wrong

Answer 1

194.4 ft

Explanation:

tan(11)=x/1 mile

tan(theta). theta is 11.

tangent is opposite (x) over adjacent (1 mile)

plug in

tan(11)=x/1 mile

multiply both sides by 1

tan(11)=x

plug in calculator

x=194.4
