If the angle of elevation is 30 degrees, how far in feef is the boat offshore Round your ontwer to 2 decimal places Marked out of1 Select one O b. 90000.00 O e.765.36 d. 519.62 e. 619.85

Solution

let distance of boat offshore from cliff = x , height of cliff =h , angle of elevation =e

tan(e) =h_/x

=>tan(30^o) =300_/x

=>x=300_/tan(30^o)

=>x=3003

=>x=519.62 ft

distance of boat offshore from cliff =519.62 ft
