Hunter in a tree 90 ft above the ground see 2 deer. 1 is due west at at angle of depression 34 degrees and other due east at angle depression 58 degrees how far part to nearest whole number are they?
West. tan theta = opposite/adjacent you have opposite, 90 feet, you want adjacent ( degree mode) tan 34 degrees = 90 feet/adj. adjacent = 90 feet/tan 34 degrees = 133.4 feet ------------------------same for east tan 58 degrees = 90 feet/adj. adjacent = 90 feet/tan 58 degrees = 56.2 feet ------------------- 133.4 feet + 56.2 feet = 190 feet is the distance 2 deer are apart
