Answer:
796.2 m.
Explanation:
A sketch of the given question forms a right angled triangle with two given sides and a non included angle. Applying the appropriate trigonometric function, we have;
Tan θ = [tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex]
Let the horizontal distance required be represented by x, so that;
Tan [tex]37^{o}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{600}{x}[/tex]
0.7536 = [tex]\frac{600}{x}[/tex]
⇒ x = [tex]\frac{600}{0.7536}[/tex]
= 796.1783
x = 796.2 m
Thus, the horizontal distance of the point of impact is 796.2 m.
