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.

Which of the following linear systems has a solution <br> (5,0)<br> SOMEONE PLS HELPPP
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

out of the choices

A) 2x-y=-2

3x+2y=-10

B) x+4y=3

2x+5y=3

C) 2x+3y=5

x-4y=-14

D) 3x+4y=15

x+y=5

only the system in D has a solution of x=5 and y=0

solve by substitution x+y=5 so x=5-y

plug into the other equation so 3(5-y)+4y=15

distribute 15-3y+4y=15 then minus 15 on both sides and combine like terms

so y=0 then put that value back into the other equation

so x+y=5 equals x+0=5 so x=5 this means the solution to the system of equations is the point (5,0)

Hope this helps! :)
