Question

Plz guys! Help me out with this question Q. 31

Answer 1

Answer:

Let’s first find the distances h h s, 1 and h2 in the

diagram below, then answer the questions.

tan 60c h

175 = s ; hs = 175 60 tan c = 175 3 m

tan 30c h

175 = 1 ; h1 = 175 30 tan c 3

175 = m

tan 45c h

175 = 2 ; h2 = 175 45 tan c = 175 m

(a) hs = 175 3 m is the height of the south rim.

(b) h h s + 2 = 175 3 175 175 1 3 + = ^ h + m is the

height of the north rim.

(c) h h 175

175 2 1 − = − 175 1

1 = d n − m is how far

the climbers have to go to the top.
