Answer: Casey is standing 52.5 feet from the
lighthouse
Step-by-step explanation:
A right angle triangle is formed. The height of
the lighthouse represents the opposite side
of the right angle triangle. The distance, h
from the lighthouse to where Casey is
standing represents the adjacent side of the
right angle triangle. Casey's line of sight
along the angle of elevation represents the
hypotenuse.
To determine h, we would apply
the tangent trigonometric ratio.
Tan 0, =opposite side/adjacent side.
Therefore,
Tan 58 = 84/h
h = 84/tan 58 = 84/1.6
h= 52.5 feet

Write a real-world problem that could be represented by the inequality.<br> 3x + 6 &gt; 27
liubo4ka [24]
Hello! We see that 6 is the fixed amount. x represents the amount of something, and the solution makes a number $27. Let's make a real-world problem and then execute it.

Fawn has $6 in her piggy bank. She makes bracelets to sell to family & friends for $3 each. She wants to buy a video game that with tax, costs a little over $27. How many bracelets would Fawn have to sell in order to have enough money to buy the video game?

How to solve it:

So we have the expression of 3x + 6 > 27. First off, subtract 6 from both sides. 6 - 6 cancels out. 27 - 6 is 21. That's 3x > 21. Now, divide each side by 3 to isolate the x. 3x/3 cancels out. 21/3 is 7. There. x > 7. Fawn will have to sell more than 7 bracelets in order to have enough money for the game.

Answer:

4, 6 & 8  /   4, 8 & 10 ,  /  6, 8 & 10

So 3 triangles

Step-by-step explanation:

The longest side of a triangle has to be greater than the difference of the other 2 sides, and less than the sum of the other 2.

diff < long side < sum

Not equal to, less than & greater than.
