Question

Find the distance from the tower to the fire round your answer to the nearest menter

A. 32m
B. 128m
C. 68m
D. 28m

Answer 1

B. 128m

Explanation:

This problem involves the use of trigonometric ratios. Since this image provides an angle as well as the length of the side that is opposite of the angle, and we are finding the hypotenuse of the triangle, we will be using the Sine function.

sin(28°) = 60/x

x*sin(28°) = 60/x * x

x*sin(28°) = 60

x*sin(28°)/sin(28°)= 60/sin(28°)

x = 60/sin(28°)

x = 127.8 m

The distance from the fire to the tower is B. 128m
