You are on a boat in the ocean at point A. You locate a lighthouse at point D, beyond the line of sight of the marker at point C

. You travel 90 feet west to point b and then 36 feet south to point C. You travel 100 feet more to arrive point E, which is due east of the lighthouse. What is the distance from point E to the lighthouse?

Answer: The distance from point E to the lighthouse = 250 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, after making the diagram of this situation,

We get two triangles ABC and CED,

In which AB = 90 feet, BC = 36 feet and CE = 100 feet,

Now,

\angle ACB\cong \angle ECD        ( Vertically opposite angles )

\angle ABC\cong \angle DEC         ( Right angles )

By AA similarity postulate,

\triangle ABC\sim \triangle DEC

By the property of similar triangles,

\frac{AB}{ED}=\frac{BC}{EC}

\frac{90}{ED}=\frac{36}{100}

9000=36DE

250=DE

Since, point D represents the lighthouse.

Hence, the distance from point E to the lighthouse = 250 feet

Can anyone solve this? If so tell me and make sure u know what ur doing please

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of a line, you need to find the \frac{rise}{run} between two points. I will be using the points (-3, 2) and (-1, -2).

\frac{rise}{run} = \frac{-2-2}{-1-(-3)}

     = \frac{-2-2}{-1+3}

     = \frac{-4}{2}

     = -2

What is the distance between coordinates (-6.25,5) and (-3.75,2)
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

\sqrt{15.25}

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance, we can use the distance formula:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2} when the given points are (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2)

Plug in the points (-6.25,5) and (-3.75,2)

d=\sqrt{(-6.25-x_1)^2+(5-y_1)^2}\\d=\sqrt{(-6.25-(-3.75))^2+(5-2)^2}\\d=\sqrt{(-6.25+3.75)^2+(5-2)^2}\\d=\sqrt{(-2.5)^2+(3)^2}\\d=\sqrt{6.25+9}\\d=\sqrt{15.25}

Therefore, the distance between the two coordinates is \sqrt{15.25}, or approximately 3.91.

I hope this helps!
