Answer:

  84.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

It is often helpful to draw a diagram for word problems involving geometric relationships. One for this problem is shown below.

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relationship between sides of a right triangle:

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

Here we're given angles of depression measured from the horizontal (as shown in the diagram), but it is more convenient to use angles measured from the vertical. In particular, ∠BAO is the complement of 60°, and its tangent is the ratio OB/OA:

  tan(30°) = OB/OA

  OB = (200 m)·tan(30°) ≈ 115.47 m . . . . . . multiply by OA, use OA=200 m

Likewise, we have ...

  OC = (200 m)·tan(45°) = 200 m

Then the width of the river is the difference between these values:

  BC = OC -OB = 200 m - 115.47 m = 84.53 m

MATH HELP!!! 100PTS!!!

Answer:

x =\dfrac{20 +\sqrt{454}}{18}, \quad \dfrac{20 -\sqrt{454}}{18}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given functions</u>:

  p(x)=2x-4

  r(x)=\dfrac{6x-1}{9x+1}

Solve for p(x) = r(x):

\begin{aligned}p(x) & = r(x)\\\implies 2x-4 & = \dfrac{6x-1}{9x+1}\\(2x-4)(9x+1)&=6x-1\\18x^2+2x-36x-4&=6x-1\\18x^2-40x-3&=0\end{aligned}

As the found quadratic equation cannot be factored, use the Quadratic Formula to solve for x:

<u>Quadratic Formula</u>

x=\dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}\quad\textsf{when }\:ax^2+bx+c=0

Therefore:

a=18, \quad b=-40, \quad c=-3

Substitute the values of a, b and c into the <u>quadratic formula</u> and solve for x:

\begin{aligned}\implies x & =\dfrac{-(-40) \pm \sqrt{(-40)^2-4(18)(-3)} }{2(18)}\\\\& =\dfrac{40 \pm \sqrt{1816}}{36}\\\\& =\dfrac{40 \pm \sqrt{4 \cdot 454}}{36}\\\\& =\dfrac{40 \pm \sqrt{4}\sqrt{454}}{36}\\\\& =\dfrac{40 \pm2\sqrt{454}}{36}\\\\& =\dfrac{20 \pm\sqrt{454}}{18}\end{aligned}

Therefore, the solutions are:

x =\dfrac{20 +\sqrt{454}}{18}, \quad \dfrac{20 -\sqrt{454}}{18}
