You are hiking and are trying to determine how far away the nearest cabin is which happens to be due north from your current position. A partner walks 215 yards due west from your position and takes a bearing on the cabin of Upper N 24.6 degrees Upper E. How far away is the cabin to the nearest yard?

469.60 yards far away is the cabin to the nearest yard

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

walks = 215 yards

bearing on the cabin =  N 24.6 degrees E

solution

we know here when 2 line are parallel then opposite angle are equal

so here DAC =

and now we take here triangle ABC

so here we can say

tan (24.6 ) =

so here BC will be

BC =  

put here value and we get

BC =

solve it we get

BC = 469.60 yards  

$6.42

step-by-step explanation:

both triangles are similar because 2 is just smaller than the big one 1 is similar because they are facing different way's but are similar to each other
