The slope distance between two points was measured with an edm and found to be 1223.88 ft. if the zenith angle (the angle from the vertical to the line) is 95°25'14", compute the horizontal distance. (ans.: 1218.41 ft) 385.11 ft) 2138.77 ft) 10

Horizontal distance = 1218.41 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Slope distance = 1223.88 ft

Zenith angle is  = 95°25'14"

converting zenith angle into degree

Zenith angle is 94.421°

Horizontal distance

putting all value to get horizontal distance value

Horizontal distance

Horizontal distance = 1218.41 ft

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).
