Is 62 degrees
Draw the diagram. It should be clear that if the distance between them is x, then
x = 27cot43° - 27cot62°
Why Cos? It's tan
nobody said anything about cos
cotangent!
GRADE 10 ??? THIS IS GRADE 10 NOT 12
Tan43 = 27/X1.
X1 = 27/Tan43 = Zidane's distance from bldg.

X2 = 27/Tan62 = Shemique's distance from bldg.

d = X1 - X2 = Distance between them.

.
who cares what grade it is?
You taking trig or not?
so whats the answer
