+180 From points P and Q, 180 meters apart on an east-west line, a tree is sighted on the opposite side of a
deep ravine. From point P, a compass indicates that the bearing of the tree is 27°. From Q, the bearing
of the tree is 43°. How far from P is the tree? (Hint: When you draw a diagram, Q is to the left of P.)
You must show the equation(s) you used to solve the problem and explain your solution. Give your
answers with lengths rounded to 4 significant digits and angles rounded to 1 decimal place.
+180 Actually the second angle is 27 degrees not 23 degrees could you please re submit your answer
+36916 If you use the law of sines (the third angle of the triangle = 180 -43-23= 114 degrees
sin 114/180 = sin43/d results in d=134.37 m= 134.4 m (four sig dig)
+180 Actually the second angle is 27 degrees not 23 degrees could you please re submit your answer
+36916 Sorry...'my bad' ...as they say
The third angle of the triangle would be 180 -27-43 =110 degrees
then the Law of Sines equation becomes....
(sin 110) /180 = (sin 43) /d then d = 130.6 m
