If A man on top of a 60.50 meter high cliff sees a boat at an angle of 20.24 degrees below his horizon how far is the boat from the base of the cliff and how far from the man?

Use the tangent ratio to solve this problem because in effect you have the outline of a right angle triangle:
tan = opp/adj
adj = opp/tan
adj = 60.50/tan 20.24 degrees
The boat is 164.0806104 (or 164)) metres from the base of the cliff.

What object exhibit two dimensional?
An object thrown upward at an angle An object that's thrown horizontally off a cliff and allowed to fall
How tall is the tower if the angles of elevation to the top and bottom of the tower on top of the cliff are 62.2 degrees and 59.5 degrees also from a point 250 m from the base of a vertical cliff?
Use the tangent ratio: 250*tan(62.2) = 474.1671924 250*tan(59.5) = 424.4157798 Subtracting one from the other is the height of the tower which is about 50 meters.
What is an example of a cliff?
Cliff Cola is the most famous cliff in South America.
A ball is thrown horizontally from a cliff at a speed of 15 ms and strikes the ground 45 meters from the base of the cliff How high was the cliff rounded to the nearest meter?
Answer: 44 meters
A monkey runs off the edge of a cliff He hits the water below 5m from the base of the cliff How fast was he running if the cliff was 10m high?
There are two major steps in solving this problem. First, we have to figure out how long it takes a monkey to fall 10m. Second, we divide the distance from the base of the cliff by the number of seconds to estimate the unfortunate simian's velocity. To get the time the monkey falls, (assuming this is on Earth with gravitational acceleration equal to 9.8 m / s), use the equation d = 4.9t2 . t = sqrt(d/4.9). Filling in the given value for d (10m) we get t = sqrt (10/4.9) which is about 1.43 seconds. If the monkey travelled outward 5m from the edge of the cliff in 1.43 seconds, the furry fellow was going 5m / 1.43s or about 3.5 m/s. Why the monkey chose to do the Acapulco Cliff Dive remains a mystery known only to him, and he is not talking.
From the top of a cliff 32 meter high it is noted that the angles of depression of two boats lying in the line due east of the cliff are 21 degrees and 17 degrees How far are the boats apart?
Angle of depression equals angle of elevation (alternate angles) So use the tangent ratio to find the distance of the two ships are from the base of the cliff: 104.6672838 - 83.36285007 = 21.30443373 meters apart.
What is cliff in a sentence?
Cliff is a noun in a sentence. There are a few examples on how to say cliff in a sentence below. Cliffhanger was hanging from a cliff. The cliff proved to be dangerous.
What is the height of a vertical cliff when a small fishing boat is 200m from its base and the angle of depression is 34 degrees?
Using trigonometry and the tangent ratio its height is 135 meters to the nearest meter.
What is the difference between a cliff and a bluff?
A cliff has a vertical or near vertical drop. A bluff has a cant or an angle to the drop.
If a ship is going southwest at 42 degrees and is as close as it can get to a lighthouse and the angle of elevation from the ship to the lighthouse is 18 degrees what's the height of the lighthouse?
Actually, the question is unanswerable. You need to at least know the height of one object - either the ship, or the cliff height, or the distance between the cliff to the water, and the cliff to the boat. I don't know if it can be answered, it doesn't give enough information one would have to have one distance value or speed value. I think at least.
What is overhanging cliff?
An overhanging cliff is a section of rock or land that juts out horizontally or at an angle, creating a ledge or protrusion. It typically extends beyond the vertical face of the cliff, creating a significant drop-off below the overhang. Overhanging cliffs can be found in natural landscapes such as mountains or can be formed artificially in construction projects.
What is the steep almost vertical edge of mountain?
A very steep, high cliff is a precipice. This is the very edge of the cliff.

How far from shore is a ship when a coastguard sights it at an angle of depression of 6 degrees on a 30 feet vertical cliff?
Use trigonometry and the tangent ratio: tan = opp/adj and when rearranged adj (the ship's distance) = opp/tan adj = 30/tan(6) = 285.4309336 Therefore the ship is just over 285 feet from shore. Remember that the angle of depression is the same as the angle of elevation because they are alternate angles.
