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

Which explanation provides the best real-world scenario of the graph?
Naddika [18.5K]
The last one is the only one that makes sense according to the standard position function.  -16t^2 is the pull of gravity on an object in free fall, and the height is 120 feet above the ground.  Hopefully that's what you need since there's no graph we can refer to

What is the measure of angle of 1?
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

m<1 = 118

Step-by-step explanation:

The remote angles theorem states that when one extends one of the sides of a triangle, the sum of the two non-adjacent angles is equal to the measure of the angle between the extension of the side and a side of a triangle. One can apply this theorem here by stating that

(28) + (90) = m<1

Remember, a box around an angle signifies that its measure is (90) degrees.

Solve this problem by performing the operation,

118 = m<1
