Trigonometry problem:

an anthropologist stands on the edge of a canyon that is 6000 feet wide and sees two cliff dwellings on the other side. the angles of depression to the dwellings are 5.7 degrees and 9.5 degrees. how far apart are the dwellings to the nearest foot?

26 is 33.33% of 78

step-by-step explanation:

26 is what percent of 78?

26 is p% of 78

equation: y = p% * x

solving our equation for p

p% = y/x

p% = 26/78

p = 0.3333

convert decimal to percent:

p% = 0.3333 * 100 = 33.33%

2y+y=5

add 2y and y

x=25tan30=14.43 or the answer is b
