A bird (B) is spotted flying 900 feet from an observer. The observer (O) also spots the top of a tower (T) at a height of 200 feet. What is the angle of depression from the bird (B) to the observer (O)? Right triangle OTB is shown. Side OT labeled 200 and side BO is labeled 900. The angle B is labeled x degrees. 12.52° 12.84° 77.16° 83.69

is <T=90?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't know

OpenStudy (ajprincess):

do u have the picture of the triangle?

If the distance from the observer (O) to the bird (B) is 17,000 ft., how far is the bird (B) from its nest (N)? A right triangle is shown with one angle marked 42 degrees, one side marked x and one side marked 17000 feet. 11,375 feet 12,633 feet 14,862 feet 15,307 feet

If the plane is flying at an altitude of 17,000 ft., what is the distance (x) from the plane (P) to the observer (O)? A right triangle is shown with one angle marked 35 degrees, one side marked x and the height marked 17000 feet. 20,757 feet 24,251 feet 29,639 feet 31,262 feet

sry am unable to view the link u gave me.

OpenStudy (ajprincess):

it'd b better if u attach a screenshot of it

for the second question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

third

OpenStudy (ajprincess):

for ur first question use sinx=opposite/hypotenuse=OT/OB =200/900 x=sin^(-1)(200/900)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know you divide 200 and 900 by 100

OpenStudy (ajprincess):

yup:) that is ur first simplification

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do we do after that

OpenStudy (ajprincess):

what do u get when u simplify?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats the answer for the third question?
