Answers
Answer:
198.5 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
A helicopter is hovering 110 feet in the air over a landing pad. If the landing agent sees the copter at an angle of elevation of 29, which of the following shows how far the landing agent helicopter landing pad
Sin θ = Perpendicular / Hypotenuse
θ = 29° ( Elevation Angle)
Perpendicular = 110 feet
Hypotenuse = Distance of Landing agent from Helicopter
=> Sin 29° = 110/Distance of Landing agent from Helicopter
=> Distance of Landing agent from Helicopter = 110/Sin29°
= 110 / 0.485
= 226.8 feet
the landing agent is 226.8 feet far from helicopter
Tanθ = Perpendicular / Base
Base = Landing agent distance from Landing Pad
=> Tan 29° = 110/Landing agent distance from Landing Pad
=> Landing agent distance from Landing Pad = 110 / Tan 29°
= 110/0.554
= 198.5 feet
the landing agent is 198.5 feet far from helicopter landing pad
