Lighthouses Directions
Thursday, September 23rd, 2010lighthouses directions
ANSWER? or some direction on how to figure it out? thanks.?
A lighthouse is built on the edge of a cliff near the ocean, as shown in the accompanying diagram. From a boat located 200 feet from the base of the cliff, the angle of elevation to the top of the cliff is 18 degrees and the angle of elevation to the top of the lighthouse is 28 degrees. What is the height of the lighthouse, x, to the nearest tenth of a foot?
Basically there is just two triangles sharing the same base of length of 200 feet, the only difference is the angle.
The height of the lighthouse is the difference in heights of the two triangles.
height = 200tan 28 - 200tan 18
= 106.34 - 64.98
= 41.36 feet
