18. The angle of elevation of the top of tower B from the top of the tower A is 28° and the angle of
elevation of the top of tower A from the base of the tower B is 46°. The two towers lie in the same
horizontal plane. If the height of the tower B is 120 m, find the height of tower A.
a. 87.2 m
b. 90.7 m
c. 79.3 m tan28° = 120- h/ x
d. 66.3 m x= 120-h/x
x = 120 – h/ tan28°
tan46°= h/x
x= h/tan46°
120-h /tan28° = h/ tan46°
120-h = 0.513h

37. An engineer left a point (point A) walking at 6.5 kph in a direction E 20° N (that is bearing of 70°). A
cyclist leaves the same point at the same time in a direction E 40° S ( that is bearing 130°) traveling at
a constant speed. Find the average speed of the cyclist if the engineer and the cyclist are 80 km apart
after 5 hours.
a. 18.23 kph Let "v" be the average cyclist speed
b. 24.34 kph The rate of change of north position is 6.5sin60 m/s
c. 13.45 kph In five hours, the walker has traveled north 5(6.5sin60) = 32.5sin60 km
d. 21.45 kph The relative east velocity is v - 6.5cos60 = v - 3.25
In five hours, the cyclist has changed east position relative to the walker by 5(v -
3.25) = (5v - 16.25) km.
80² = (32.5sin60)² + (5v - 16.25)²
6400 = 792.1875 + 25v² - 162.5v + 264.0625
0 = 25v²- 162.5v - 5343.75
quadratic formula, positive answer
v = (162.5 + √(162.5² - 4(25)(-5343.75))) / (2(25))
v = (162.5 + 748.85329) / 50
v = 18.227065
v = 18.2 km/h
