A ranger spots a forest fire on a 24-meter observation tower. The angle of depression from the tower to the fire is 29°. To the nearest meter, how far is the fire from the base of the tower?

Respuesta :

4.57 meters away from the fire

let x= distance to fire

tan29 = 24/x
x tan29 =24
x = 24/tan29
x= 43.30m (2dp)
