boat A is 200 m from the base of a vertical cliff. from A the angle of elevation of the top of the cliff is 35 degrees. from another boat B nearer to the base of the cliff, the angle of elevation of the top of the cliff is 60 degrees. the two boats are on the same straight front line in the cliff. using scale drawing draw an accurate scale drawing to rep the above information

To create an accurate scale drawing based on the given information, mark the base of the cliff, point A 200 m away from the base, and point B. Using a protractor, draw lines from point A at a 35 degree angle of elevation and from point B at a 60 degree angle of elevation to represent the top of the cliff. Label the distances on the scale drawing.

To create an accurate scale drawing based on the given information, we can start by drawing a line to represent the base of the cliff. We can then mark point A 200 m away from the base. Using a protractor, we can draw a line from point A at a 35 degree angle of elevation to represent the top of the cliff. Next, we can mark point B, which is closer to the base, and draw a line from point B at a 60 degree angle of elevation to represent the top of the cliff. Finally, we can label the distances on the scale drawing to accurately represent the distances in the problem statement.
