The ship's horizontal distance from the lighthouse is 1930.59 feet. Using trigonometric ratio 'tanθ' the distance is calculated.

<h3>What are trigonometric ratios?</h3>

The trigonometric ratios are used for determining the lengths of the right-angled triangle. There are six basic trigonometric ratios. they are:

sin θ = opposite/hypotenuse

cos θ = adjacent/hypotenuse

tan θ = opposite/adjacent

sec θ = hypotenuse/adjacent

cosec θ = hypotenuse/opposite

cot θ = adjacent/opposite

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

It is given that,

The height of the bacon-light is 135 feet above the water

Consider the horizontal distance between the boat and the lighthouse = x feet

The angle of elevation is given as 4°

Constructing a model as below in the figure.

From the trigonometric ratios, we have

tan θ = 135/x

⇒ tan 4° = 135/x

⇒ x = 135/tan 4°

∴ x = 1930.589 feet ≅ 1930.59 feet (rounding to the nearest hundredth of a foot)

Therefore, the ship's horizontal distance from the lighthouse is 1930.59 feet.

The length of an equilateral triangle is increased by 5 cm. The perimeter of the new triangle is 72 cm. What is the side length
Igoryamba

Answer:

19cm

Step-by-step explanation:

An equilateral triangle is a triangle where the length of the 3 sides are the same.

the perimeter is the sum of the 3 sides

for example, if the length of the side of the an equilateral triangle is 5, the perimeter is 5 x 3 = 15

let x = unknown length of side

length after increase = x + 5

(x + 5) x 3 = 72

divide both sides of the equation by 3

x + 5 = 24

subtract 5 from both sides of the equation

x = 24 - 5 = 19cm
