A dog is on the ground watching a cat on a 6-foot-
high wall. The angle of elevation from the dog to the
cat is 50º. About how far from the wall is the dog?

Respuesta :

Answer:

5.0344

Step-by-step explanation:

tan=opposite

      adjacent

Since you're trying to find the adjacent side to the angle 50, use tan.

So tan 50º= 6/x

Swap x and tan 50º , which puts tan 50º under the 6.

Use your calculator to find the approximate value of tan 50º (rounded to 4 decimals)

Then divide!
