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

Answer:

A. C (3,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

This makes the most sense because of the position point C is at on the coordinate plane. It is above point D, which has a x-axis of 3. Option A is the only one that has an x-axis of 3.

Hope it helps!

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!

Answer:

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

the sum of any exterior angle is equal to the sum of any two interior angles

3x-11 + 5x+14 = 9x-15

8x + 3 = 9x - 15

3 = x - 15

x = 18
