you are standing, on the horizontal ground, feet from the base of a cliff. Admiring your surroundings, you nite that the angle of elevation to the top of the cliff to be degrees. If realistic limits are imposed on your choices, what would be a reasonable distance from the cliff? What would be a reasonable angle if elevation? Explain.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

If realistic limits are imposed on the choices I would go with 1000 ft. For the angle of elevation I would chose 34°. This because as we know an angle of elevation is the angle between the observer's’ line of sight and a horizontal line when the observer looks upward.

If you wanted to find the height of the cliff you would use the following:

Tan34 = x/1000

x = tan(34)*1000

x = 674.51 ft.

I hope this helps, Regards.

Remember Soh Cah Toa (say it aloud, this is how I remember it)- Sin(a)=Opposite/Hypotenuse, Cos(a)=Adjacent/Hypotenuse, and Tan(a)=Opposite/Adjacent. Each of these terms is related to the angle you're working with
So for your problem:
3 ft is opposite of the angle so to calculate the hypotenuse=3/Sin(25)
