Question

I am needing help. I do not understand how to solve

Answer 1

to find x, we can use trigonometric ratios because the triangle is right(an angle of 90°)

I will use tangent

`\tan (\alpha)=(O)/(A)`

where alpha is the angle, O the opposite side from the angle, and A the adjacet side from the angle different to the hypotenuse

so replacing

`\tan (13)=(x)/(500)`

now, solve x

`x=500\tan (13)`

and calculate

`x=115.43`

the distance is 115.43 meters
