A forest ranger sights a fire directly to the south. A second ranger, 99 miles east of the first ranger, also sights the fire. The bearing from the second ranger to the fire is Upper S 29 degrees Upper WS 29° W. How far is the first ranger from the fire?

The first ranger is approximately 54.88 miles away from the fire.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have drawn the diagram for your reference.

Given:

Distance between first ranger and second ranger (AB)= 99 miles

Angle between fire and second ranger =

We need to find the distance between the first ranger from the fire.

Solution:

Let the distance between the first ranger from the fire (AC) be 'x'.

So we can say that;

We know that;

tan of angle B is equal to opposite side divided by adjacent side.

Hence the first ranger is approximately 54.88 miles away from the fire.

median is the value separating the higher half of a data sample, a population or probablity distribution from the lower half.

step-by-step explanation:

say you have 3,8,7,3,1,9,8 order them from lowest to highest

if orderd it would be 1,3,3,7,8,8,9 now you take away from the lowest and the highest until you end up in the middle.

so you would remove the 1 and 9 leaving you with 5 digits remaining

when you've reached the middle that would be your answer so in this case the answer is 7

if there were two numbers left say 7 and 5 you'd and them together so 12 then divide by 2 witch would equal 6 so the answer would be 6

good luck on that project hoped i you at all
