Lol my stupid year 10 self thought that Excel Ext 2 book contained all the Topics for 4unit, 3unit and 2unit. Wasted so much $$

You sure? It was just slightly different because implicit differentiation was required, after that it was just product rule.

No working out, I just drew the triangle and used a calculator to do sine rule
A tree stands at the north bank of a river with straight parallel banks running east to west. The angle of elevation to the top of a tree is 28° when measured from point A on the south bank and distant 3 metres to the west of the tree. From another point B on the south bank and distant 5 metres to the east of the tree, the angle of elevation of the tree is 19°. From a point half-way between A and B, find the angle of elevation of the top of the tree.

Don't get the question. Is this 3d Trig?

Here's a diagram:
The question asks you to find the angle of elevation of the tree from the midpoint of AB.

Is that 3d or 2d?
I still can't see how it works.

It's in 3D, the two horizontal lines are the parallel river banks, the line going upwards is the tree.
I can see how it works, but we've just started Trig so I don't think I can do it :\

What chap. is 3D trig in the Cambridge book?
ohexploitable
hey
I don't think there is 3D trig in Cambridge.

No wait there is in Chp2 in the Year 12 3unit one.

hey
lol I never actually did the question, seems trippy.

Oh wait, read the question wrong, it says find the angle of elevation of the tree from the south bank due south of the tree between A and B.

Wha? Whered the 90 come from?Yay! Solved it
Wtf..how is that the mindpoint.
I like the minus part
ohexploitable
hey
Haha yeah the minus, I was like how the fuck can they relate? And then I realised w was common.
