Angle Finder

Angle Finder
Trigonometry help please? (Please show your work!) Thank you all! :) !?

Could someone please help me with these problems? I can not seem to get the right answers. Please explain what I follow. Thanks everyone! All help is greatly appreciated. :) 1) From a boat on the river below a dam, the elevation angle to the top of the dam is 29 degrees 6 '. If the dam is 2340 meters above the river, to what extent is the boat from the base of the dam (to the nearest foot)? A. C.4346 feet 4366 m D.4336 feet B.4356 m 2) Radio direction finders are set at points A and B, 8.68 m apart in an east-west. Since it is found that the bearing of a signal from a transmitter is N 54.3 ° E, while B is 35.7 degrees N W. Calculate the distance from the transmitter B to the nearest hundredth of a mile. A. 4.57 m B. 7.05 m C.5.07 my D.7.55mi

6 '= 6 / 60 degrees = 1 / 10 = grade 29.1 degrees is 0.1 degrees elevation tan (29.1) = 2340 / X, where x is the distance of boat base of the dam. X = 2340 / Tan (29.1) = 2340 / 0.55659 = 4204.17 m
