A rescue team 1000 ft. away from the base of a vertical cliff measures the angle of elevation to the top of the cliff to be 70°. A climber is stranded on a ledge. The angle of elevation from the rescue team to the ledge is 55°. How far is the stranded climber from the top of the cliff? Approximate to four decimal places

step-by-step explanation:

6.48/4 4 goes into 6.48 1.62 times

the answer is:

the correct option:

b.

to solve the problem, we need to remember how to operate to simplify exponential expressions using the logarithms.

we are given the equation:

then, using placing logarith with base 7 on both sides of the equation, we have:

so, rounding the obtained result to two decimal places (nearest hundreth), we have:

hence, we have that the correct option:

b.

have a nice day!
