Answer:
(1)55.5 feet
(2)7.5 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 1
The diagram is attached below.
Using Trigonometric ratio
[tex]\tan 48^\circ = \dfrac{h}{50} \\h=50 \times \tan 48^\circ\\h=55.5$ feet (to the nearest tenth)[/tex]
The height of the house is 55.5 feet to the nearest tenth.
Question 2
In the diagram, we are required to find the distance the bird must fly to be directly above the fish. This has been represented by x.
Using Trigonometric ratio
[tex]\tan 15^\circ = \dfrac{2}{x} \\x \tan 15^\circ=2\\x=2 \div \tan 15^\circ\\x=7.5 $ feet (to the nearest tenth)[/tex]
The distance the bird must fly to be directly above the fish is 7.5 feet.
