5) BRAINLIEST + 10+ POINTS! A 60 foot tall radio tower r feet from an observer subtends an angle of 3.25°. Use the arc length formula to estimate r (the distance between the observer and the radio tower) to the nearest foot. r≈ ___ feet

1057

Step-by-step explanation:

tower is 60 feet high.

angle of 3.25 degrees.

3.25/360 * 2 * pi * r = the arc length of this angle.

that would be equal to 0.0567232007* r

if we assume the arc length and the height of the tower are approximately equal, then 0.0567232007 * r = 60

solving for r, we get r = 60/0.0567232007 = 1057.768237 feet.

that's about how far the tower is from the observer.

since the arc length is going to be a little longer than the length of the chord formed by the flagpole, this means that the distance of 1057.768237 meters is going to be a little less than the actual distance.

≈ 1058 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Use of arc formula: s=rθ

Given:

r= s/θ= 60/0.0567 ≈ 1058 ft

first, you divide the triangle in two, tô form a retangle triangle. after, using pythagoream theorem:

18^2 = 14^2 + (x/2)^2

(x^2/4) + 196 = 324

x^2/4 = 324 - 196

x^2/4 = 128

x^2 = 512

x = √512

x = √2^9

x = 16√2 cm
