From the fourth-story window of an apartment complex, Paul looks down at Samuel as he walks to the bus stop. Paul is 42 ft above the ground and the angle of depression from Paul to Samuel is 71º. Find the distance from Samuel to the base of the building, round to the nearest foot. Type your response in the box provided.

14feet

Step-by-step explanation:

take 90-71=19,then use tan to get the distance between samuel and foot of the building

the equivalent expression are always the hardest ones but you look at the gcf also

step-by-step explanation:

p ÷ r = tan(x)

step-by-step explanation:

given that there is a figure below shows a right triangle: a right triangle is shown with hypotenuse equal to q units and the length of the legs equal to p units and r units.

graph is missing so i will create the graph as per given information.

the angle between the legs having lengths p units and q units is y degrees. the angle between the legs having lengths r units and q units is x degrees.

now we need to find about what is p ÷ r equal to.

so we can use trigonometric ratio tan(x)=[altitude]/[base] to find the value of p ÷ r, because p is the altitude and r is the base.

p ÷ r=tan(x)

hence final answer is p ÷ r=tan(x).
