The distance between the points A to B is 899.9 feet. After rounding off the  nearest integer we get 900 feet as the final answer.

Given we know that CD is perpendicular to AD.

The distance between CD is 139 feet.

As from points A the boat's crew measure the angle of elevation to the beacon as 6°

therefore, m∠A = 6°

Another time the angle of elevation is measured from point B which is 19°.

therefore, m∠DBC = 19°

tan 19° = CD/BD

BD = CD/tan19°

BD = 136/tan 19°

now for tan 6° = CD/AD (tangent is opposite over adjacent)

AD = CD/tan 6°

AD = 136/tan 6°

AB = AD ₋ BD

AB = 136/tan 6° ₋ 136/tan 19°

AB = 1295.2 ₋ 395.3

AB = 900 feet

hence the distance from point A to B is 900 feet.

The answer is 20n + 10 = 90 because the bar seats 10 people so you take 90-10 and you're left with 80. Four seats are at a table so you take 80/4 and you're left with 20. All you need to do now is reverse the order to fit the answer, and since you originally subtracted, you'd add. You could also do 20x4 + 10 and see that it equals 90 to check your answer.

Answer: 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 3 from both sides.

6a+3−3=45−3

6a=42

Step 2: Divide both sides by 6.

6a /6 = 42 /6

I think its irrational bc if you put it as the squareroot of 329, it results in neverending decimals.
