A surveyor standing on top of a cliff found that the angle of depression of a boat as sea is 22°. if the top of the cliff is 15m
1 answer:
Answer:
From the photo above i interpreted the question and drew a triangle to make it easier to solve
Tan is used to solve the question as we were given opposite (as height of the cliff) and to find Adjacent ( the distance between the foot of the cliff to the boat)
Tan θ =Opp/Adj
Tan 22°=15/a
Cross Multiply
aTanθ=15°
Divide both sides by Tan 22
aTan22/Tan22 = 15/Tan 22
a = 15/Tan 22°
a = 37.13 m
Therefore the distance between the foot of the cliff to the boat is 37.13 metres

Step-by-step explanation:
<em>In general we can write a polynomial in standard form as </em>
<em>Given</em>
<em>Combine the like terms: 4m and -4m</em>
<em>4m-4m=0</em>
<em>We have 4m-4m=0</em>
<em>So, write the remaining terms</em>
=
<em>This is in decreasing order of powers.</em>
<em>Hence the answer is the standard form is</em>
<em>But in the given options, you can choose option 2 and option 3 are in standard form.</em>
<em>Because they are in decreasing order of powers.</em>
<em>In other two options, the constants term is first and the highest power term is at the last. So, they are not in standard form.</em>
<em>-2m^4-6m^2+4m+9</em>
<em>-2m^4-6m^2-4m+9</em>
