Erica looks to the top of a snow mountain, the mountain is 270 ft. tall, the angle from where Erica is stranding to the top of the mountain is 34 degrees. How far away is erica from the mountain (round to the nearest foot).
- tan 34 = 270/x
- x = 270/(tan 34)
- x = 401 feet
Erica decides that she wants to ski down the mountain. When she reaches the top, she looks back down at the cabin she was staying in. The mountain height is still 270 and the cabin is 750 feet away, what is the angle?
-tan x = 270/ 750
- Inverse tan = 270/ 750
- angle = 19.8 degrees
