I had this question posted earlier, but I was just told the answer which really doesnt help me at all, since its for finals. Can someone walk me through it please? Last response I got was "11" and I really need help figuring it out.. Thank you!
A 25-foot fishing line tied on a dock subtends an angle of depression of 24 degrees. What is the horizontal distance (in feet) between the bob at the end of the line and the dock? Type in your numerical answer only, rounded to one decimal place.
I drew a picture as I read this problem. The final picture ends up like the diagram I put up here: http://i3.tinypic.com/6srytyp.jpg
You are searching for x. If you use cos, cos(24 deg)=(x)/(25)
x=25cos(24 deg)=22.8 ft
