Question

How would I find the distance3 of the boat from the shore?

Answer 1

Hi,

Explanation:

Let's say C the boot

We are going to use the Al Kashi theorem (law of sinus) :

`(sin(48^o))/(550) =(sin(63^o))/(AC)\\\\AC=(sin(63^o)*550)/(sin(48^o)) =659.4321...\approx{659\ ft}\\\\h=AC*sin(69^o)=615.6329...\approx{616\ ft}`
