(a) A cottage is on a bearing of 200° and 110° from Dogbe's and Manu's farms respectively. If Dogbe walked 5 km and Manu 3 km from the cottage to their farms, find, correct to: (i) two significant figures, the distance between the two farms, (ii) the nearest degree, the bearing of Manu's farm from Dogbe's.
(b) A ladder 10 m long leaned against a vertical wall xm high. The distance between the wall and the foot of the ladder is 2 m longer than the height of the wall.
Calculate the value of x
A ladder 6m long leans against a vertical wall at an angle 53º to the horizontal. How high up the wall does the ladder reach?
A boy 1.4 m tall, stood 10m away from a tree of height 12 m. Calculate, correct to the nearest degree, the angle of elevation of the top of the tree from the boy's eyes.
The angle of elevation and depression of the top and bottom of another building, measured from the top of a 24 m tall building, is 30° and 60°, respectively. Determine the second building's height.
The angle of elevation of the top of a building from a point Z on the ground is 50°. If the height of the building is 124 m, find the distance from Z to the foot of the building.
