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.

Answer:

y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Make equal ratios. y  10               4

                                              =  

                               x   22.5          9

If you divide 10 and 22.5, you get 0.44 repeating. If you divide 4 and 9, you will also get 0.44 repeating.

Find the value of x<br>9.10.12,x, 20.25 ; The median is 14.​
Elodia [21]

Answer: 16  

Step-by-step explanation:

9,10,12,x ,20, 25  so we know the median is 14 which is the middle number.

Since the numbers are 6 it means there will be 2 middle numbers and if you divide them it will be 14.

we know one of the middle numbers is 12 and we trying to find x .

So we could use the equation x  + 12 = 2(14)

                                                  x + 12 = 28

                                                     -12   -12  

                                                x= 16  so X is 16.       check:  16+12=28/2 is 14.

1. Evaluate 7m + 3mn; when m=8 and n=14?
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

1. 392

2. 75

3. 12x^{2} - 5x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 7×8 + 3×8×14 = 56 + 336 = 392

2. 675 ÷ (6 + 3) = 675 ÷ 9 = 75

3. 12x^{2} + 3x - 8x - 2 = 12x^{2} -5x-2
