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

A bad punter on a football team kicks a football approximately straight upward with an initial velocity of 89 ft/sec.
Andrej [43]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical velocity will be affected by gravity in this scenario

df = do + vo t + 1/2 a t^2         do = original height = 4 ft      a = -32.2 ft/s^2

<u>df = 4 + 89 t  - 1/2 (32.2) t^2        df = height</u>

<u />

On the way up and the way down, the ball may reach height of 102.2125 ft :

102.2125 = 4 + 89 t - 1/2 (32.2) t2   re-arrange to:

-16.1 t^2 + 89t - 98.2125 =0  

      Use Quadratic Formula to find <u>t =   1.5 and 4.0 s </u>

(Solve Problems Involving Proportional Relationships)
gavmur [86]
Okay, so the first thing we have to do is take 6ft and convert it into inches so we get the equation (6x12)+6 6 times 12 is 72 so that gives us 72in plus 6 which is 78 and with that answer we take 78in and divide it by 6.17 which is 12.18. She has a long arm measuring i while feet and 18 inches lol
