Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is 186.15 feet
First, we know that the height of the waterfall is 365 feet, we also know that the depression on which Julio looks down is 27 degrees. We could also assume that the angle at the base of the waterfall is 90 degrees for the sake of solving the equation. Since we are trying to find out the length of the base of the cliff and the Bear, we can use the tangent ratio since we already have an angle, a side adjacent to the angle, and a side opposite of the angle, which is what we are trying to solve for.
tan 27° = X/365
tan 27° = 0.510
0.510 = X/365
365*0.510 = 186.15
186.15 = X
*Note that the ratio for tangent which you use may vary, but as long as the answer remains close to 186 you should be fine*
