Answer:
y = 8√3
Step-by-step explanation:
In the 30°-60°-90° "special" triangle, the ratio of sides lengths is ...
1 : √3 : 2 = 8 : y : hypotenuse
In order for these ratios to be equal, we must have ...
y = 8√3
__
If you want to solve this using your trig skills, you recognize that ...
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
tan(30°) = 8/y
y = 8/tan(30°) . . . . where tan(30°) = 1/√3
y = 8√3
Answer: A and C And B
Step-by-step explanation: (I AM NOT 100% SURE WAIT FOR SOME ELSE JUST IN CASE if you dont uh hope its right)
Answer:
15 in.
Step-by-step explanation:
P = 2(L + W)
36 = 2(L + 3)
18 = L + 3
L = 15
Its okay bro, we all failed
Since the beacons rotate together, the angular speed is constant.
From the time you see the first beacon, you have to wait for the lighthouse to make 120°, i.e. 1/3 of a whole turn.
So, if T is the time it takes for the lighthouse to make a whole turn, the interval between the first and the second beacon is T/3.
The interval between the second and third beacon is the amount of time it takes to the lighthouse to make the remaining 2/3 of a turn, so that you'll see the first beacon again. So, this time is 2T/3
So, the ratio is

So, the time between the second and third beacon is twice as much the time between the first two.
