You are hiking and are trying to determine how far away the nearest cabin is, which happens to be due north from your current position. your friend walks 205 yards due west from your position and takes a bearing on the cabin of n 23.9°e. how far are you from the cabin?

Please check the attached question for a better understanding of the solutions provided here.

In the attached diagram, North is shown straight up. The rest of the cardinal directions follow.

Your current position is depicted by the letter P.

Your friend's current position after a walk of 205 yards due west from your position is depicted by the letter F.

The location of the cabin (which happens to be due north from your current position) is depicted by the letter C.

The bearing on the cabin from F is of N23.9°E which too is shown in the diagram. Thus,

It is clear from the question that we have to find the distance of the Cabin C from your current position P. Thus, we have to find PC=x.

By using the definition of the definition of the tan ratio, we get:

yards.

Thus, your are, approximately, 90.8 yards away from the cabin.

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is
