Question

the tallest tree in the forest is 150 feet from the water tower. unfortunatly in a lightning storm the tallest tree was struck and caught on fire. the ranger needs to go from his tower to the water tower to get the water to put out the fire. how far is it from the rangers tower to the water tower

Answer 1

The interior angles of a triangle add up to 180

180 - 97 - 34 = 49

150 / Sin 34 = b / Sin 49

multiply both sides by Sin 49

(Sin (49)* 150) / Sin 34 = b

b = 270.39 feet
