D 1.5 m 1.5 m 1 m 9 m 1 m 1 m E F Mine pit mine surveyor hs een sked to determine the dimensions of this pit. From, she mesures the distnes, nd, to either side of the pit nd lso the ngle in etween. She finds tht: = 86 m, = 97 m nd = 46 o. Find the pit s width, (to the nerest metre. hpter 8 417
From D, she ompletes similr eerise to find the length of the pit, EF. This time she finds: DE = 10 m, DF = 111 m nd EDF = 53. The following digrm is ross-setionl view of the pit long its length. E 49º 75º d F R The surveyor needs to find the depth, d. To do this she hs loted lrge oulder, R, t the ottom of the pit nd found tht the ngle etween the horizontl, EF, nd ER is 49, nd the ngle etween FE nd FR is 75. Find (to the nerest metre: the distne ER d the depth, d. e The surveyor s lst tsk is to find the re of the opening of the pit. For this lultion she simply mesures the sides of the pit opening. She finds tht: E = F = 71 m nd F = E = 45 m. Find the re, to the nerest squre metre.
