Question

An army of orcs has marched upon King Amit's stronghold, setting up camp a safe distance away (or so they

think!). What the orcs don't know is that the king and his engineers have spent the past decade developing
advanced catapulting technology
King Amit has created a map to help him compute the distance from each of his two best catapults to the
enemy orc camp (shown below).
To what distance should King Amit calibrate catapult B to fire?

Enemy ore camp
?
96
58°
B
А
145 m

Answer 1

Explanation:

Sin(26) / 145 = sin (96) /d

d x sin (26)= 145 x sin (96)

d = 145 x sin( 96) / sin(26)

Which should sum up to d ~329m
