The boat's travel from when it was first noticed until it stopped is 554.89 ft.

<h3>What is trigonometry?</h3>

Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the relationship between sides and angles of a right-angle triangle.

We have:

A person is watching a boat from the top of a lighthouse. The boat is approaching the lighthouse directly.

From the given information we can draw a right-angle triangle.

14°52' = 14 + 0.86 = 14.86 degree

45°10' = 45 + 0.16 = 45.16 degree

In the right-angle triangle ACD

tan14.86 = 200/AC

AC = 753.772 ft

In the right-angle triangle DBC:

tan45.16 = 200/CB

CB = 198.886 ft

AB = AC - CB

AB =  753.772 ft - 198.886 ft

AB = 554.886 ≈ 554.89 ft

Thus, the boat's travel from when it was first noticed until it stopped is 554.89 ft.

Can 12m, 35m and 37m make a right triangle
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

YES

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

If this is a right triangle we can then substitute the sides of the triangle (12 and 35) and the hypotenuse (37) into the Pythagoras Theorem and the two sides of the equation will be equal. If this is not a right triangle the two sides of the equation will not be equal.

The Pythagoras Theorem is

What single transformation maps ∆ABC onto ∆A'B'C'? A. rotation 90° clockwise about the origin B. rotation 90° counterclockwise a
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

B. rotation 90° counterclockwise about the origin.

Step-by-step explanation:

Transformation is the process by which the size or orientation of a given figure is altered without any effect on its shape. Examples are; rotation, reflection, translation and dilation.

Rotation is the process of turning a figure about a reference point called the origin. While reflection is turning a figure about a line to produce its image.

In the given question, ∆ABC is  mapped onto ∆A'B'C' by rotating it at 90° counterclockwise about the origin.

ST=<br> Help me please thank u
dmitriy555 [2]

Step-by-step explanation:

RS + ST = 8

(RS + ST)×RS = (4 + 2)×4

8 × RS = (4 + 2) × 4 = 6 × 4 = 24

RS = 24/8 = 3

RS + ST = 8

3 + ST = 8

ST = 5
