A bird flew from a point on the ground directly to the edge of the roof of a building. The
height of the building is 70 feet, and the angle of elevation the bird's flight path made with the
ground is 30°. What is the total distance the bird flew in feet?

Respuesta :

The total distance the bird flew in feet is 140 feet

Angle of elevation and depression

Given the following parameters

The angle of elevation = 30 degrees

Height =  70 feet

Required

total distance the bird flew in feet (D)

Using the SOH CAH TOA identity

sin 30 = 70/D
D = 70/sin30

D = 140eet

Hence  the total distance the bird flew in feet is 140 feet
