Roger the park ranger was standing in a look out tower that was 200 ft tall. Looks down, sees a fire. Angle of depression is 7 degrees. How far is fire from base of tower?

approx. 24.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

x=the distance of the fire from the base of the tower

200ft=the height of the tower

7 degrees=the angle of depression

Using these values you can draw a diagram that highlights that you need to use trig. to work out the answer.

Using Tan:

Tan 7=x/200 ft

multiply both sides by 200 ft

200*tan 7=24.55691218

approx. 24.6 ft

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.

sorry i just need to anwers this to get points
