Answer: the distance of the boat from the foot of the lighthouse is 290.5 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
The right angle triangle ABC representing the scenario is shown in the attached photo.
Angle A is alternate to the angle of depression, hence, they are the same.
The height of the lighthouse represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle. The distance, x of the boat from the foot of the lighthouse represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.
To determine x, we would apply
the tangent trigonometric ratio.
Tan θ, = opposite side/adjacent side. Therefore,
Tan 11.1 = 57/x
x = 57/Tan 11.1 = 57/0.1962
x = 290.5 feet to the nearest tenth.
Answer:
122.5 lbs
Step-by-step explanation:
The relation between force, wind speed, and area can be written ...
f = ks²a
for some wind speed s and area a.
__
The constant of proportionality, k, can be found from the given data.
64.8 = k(18²)(500) . . . force in pounds, area in square feet, speed in mph
k = 64.8/(324×500) = 0.0004
__
Using the equation with the second set of data, we have ...
f = 0.0004(35²)(250) = 122.5 . . . . pounds
The force on the 250 square foot sail would be 122.5 pounds.
Answer:
78
Correct term:60
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that

The quotient of this expression is given by

We have to find the term in this expression which contains an error.

The quotient of this expression is given by


Using the formula

We can see that in the given expression there is 60 in place of 78.
The error in the expression of quotient is 78.
Correct term is 60.
Answer:
45
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the original number be xy where y is unit and x is tens hence original number is 10x+y When reversed, the new number is yz hence 10y+x
We know that the original number plus 9 is the reversed number hence
10x+y+9=10y+x
9y-9x=9 which when simplified we obtain that
y-x=1 equation 1
Originally, we are told that the sum of x and y is 9 hence
y+x=9 equation 2
Solving equation 1, it means y=x+1
Substituting the above into equation 2
x+1+x=9
2x=9-1
2x=8
x=8/2=4
Since y=x+1 then y=4+1=5
Therefore, the original number, xy is 45
