A boat is heading towards a lighthouse, where Luis is watching from a vertical distance of 107 feet above the water. Luis measur

es an angle of depression to the boat at point A to be 10 degrees. At some later time, Luis takes another measurement and finds the angle of depression to the boat (now at point B) to be 39 degrees. Find the distance from point A to point B. Round your answer to the nearest foot if necessary.

Using the slope concept, it is found that the distance from point A to point B is of 465 feet.

<h3>What is a slope?</h3>

The slope is given by the vertical change divided by the horizontal change, and it's also the tangent of the angle of depression.

To find the horizontal position at point A, we have that:

tan(10º) = 107/dA

dA = 107/tan(10º)

dA = 607.

For the horizontal position at point B, we have that:

tan(37º) = 107/dB

dB = 107/tan(37º)

dB = 142.

Hence the distance is given by:

D = dA - dB = 607 - 142 = 465.

A pizza has a diameter of 14 inches what is the approximate circumference
Savatey [412]
To find the circumference of a circle you can use either of these equations
3.14 X Diameter or 2 X 3.14 X Radius. But in this case we will use the first one. So 3.14 X 14 = 47.6 so the circumference of this circle would be 47.6 inches.

How many tenths are in 3ones
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

Each one has 10 tenths, so 3 ones have 30 tenths.

You can do this by dividing 3 by 1/10.

3/(1/10) = 3/1 * 10/1 = 30/1 = 30

Please find the missing side of this triangle
Strike441 [17]
The answer is 15.01

First you need to find the other angle of the triangle so you do 90+25 which gives you 115 and subtract that by 180 because all angles of a triangle add up to 180. That gives you 65 then you will use TAN(65) and get 2.144506920509559 which you will then multiple by 7 to get 15.01154844356691 which you then round to get 15.01!
