If a boat is travelling between two towers as shown then find how far does the boat need to move to be in the middle of the channel, the centre of boat from each tower and the distance from the base of a tower to the middle of the channel.
Answer to Problem 38PPE
The boat has to move towards left tower 2.7 ft to be in the middle of tower, the centre of boat from the left tower is 17.32 ft and from right tower it is 11.92 ft, and the distance from the base of the tower to the middle of the channel is 14.62 ft.
Explanation of Solution
Given information: The given figure is shown as in which boat is at point (C) initially.
Calculation: By trigonometric ratio in
Similarly,
Now the distance between two towers
Also
Now the distance
