URGENT PLS HELP: If the transit telescope is 4.5 feet above the ground at the first location during this reading, how wide is the trench? (ANSWER FOR 30 POINTS)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first transit on one side of the trench is 18 ft higher than the other side of the trench. The transit is set at 4.5 above ground, therefore the transit lens is 18' + 4.5' = 22.5' above the location on the other side of the trench. The angle of depression is the angle formed by the horizontal and the line of sight to the other side and it is given as 31°. This forms a right angle triangle with height of 22.5' and an interior angle of 31°, Then

tan( 31°) = Height / base, with the base representing the width of the trench

base = Height / tan(31°) = 22.5' / tan(31°) = 37.45' is the width of the trench

the answer is 3/5

step-by-step explanation:

first divide 24 divided by 8 because that is the least common multiple

then divide 40 by 8

then you will get 3/5.
