When gold medalist Ren Qian prepared for her dive from the 10 meter platform during the

Olympics, she looked out at her family sitting on the front row (level with the pool) at a 20°

angle of depression. How far away was Ren from her family (ground distance)? Round to the

nearest tenth of a meter.

Answer:

Ren was 27.5 meters away from her family.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ren Qian was at a height of 10 meters to the ground. Let the distance from her vertical point on the ground to her family (i.e the ground distance) be represented by x.

But the angle of depression is measured with respect to the horizontal plane, so;

the vertical angle = [tex]90^{o}[/tex] - 20°

                             = [tex]70^{o}[/tex]

Applying the appropriate trigonometric function, we have;

Tan θ = [tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex]

Tan [tex]70^{o}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{10}[/tex]

⇒ x = 10 x Tan [tex]70^{o}[/tex]

      = 10 x 2.7475

      = 27.475

x = 27.5 meters

Ren was 27.5 meters away from her family.

PLEASE HELP ME LIKE IM GOING TO CRY ILL give you brainliest if the answer is correct and 20/40 points..............Ben participated in a race. During the first half of the race, he walked 3 miles and ran at a rate of 5 miles per hour for x hours. During the second half of the race, he walked for 2 miles and ran at a rate of 5.5 miles per hour for x hours. What equation could you write to solve for the number of hours Ben ran during each half of the race? Let y represent the number of miles in half the race. Write two equations, one for the first half of the race and one for the second half. How could you transform these two equations to be the same as the original equation you wrote to solve for x? What do you think this means about solving for the variables in a situation represented by two equations?
