A person sights a boat from 235 feet above sea-level as shown. If the angle of depression from the man to the boat is 21º , then determine the boat's distance to the edge of the cliff to the nearest ten feet.

the answer is a) y= 2 csc [0.5 (x+pi/2)]-1

step-by-step explanation:

you are playing an adventure game on your computer. you come across a troll who won't let you pass and there is no other way to get to the other side of the river except over the bridge he is guarding.

the troll is a nerd. he takes great delight in watching people struggle with his problems. very few get them. he only gives you one chance and then he changes the puzzle. you have to solve this one.

before you are four blocks. they are numbered 11,6, -7,21.

he tells that the answer he wants is minus and between -1 and - 2. you can use +, -, ×, ÷   ( and ) as many times as you like or no times at all. you don't like the way he's looking at you, but you need to cross the bridge. what do you do?

answer is 270 degrees: -

to convert radians to degrees you multiply by 180/π

9π/ 6 * 180 / π

=   9 * 180 / 6

= 9 * 30

=   270 degrees   answer
