Answer:
Not a right triangle
Step-by-step explanation:
We can figure out if it is a right triangle or not by using the pythagorean theorem.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
In this case a and b are 16 and 18
In order for it to be a right triangle, c has to equal 34, in this problem.
16^2 + 18^2 = c^2
= 580^2
= = 24.0832
Since 24.0832 does not equal 34, this is not a right triangle
Answer: the height of the lighthouse is 838.8 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The right angle triangle ABC illustrating the scenario is shown in the attached photo.
The angle of depression and angle A are alternate angles, hence, they are the equal.
The height, h of the lighthouse represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle. The distance of the boat from the foot of the lighthouse represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.
To determine h, we would apply
the tangent trigonometric ratio.
Tan θ, = opposite side/adjacent side. Therefore,
Tan 62 = h/446
h = 446tan62 = 446 × 1.8807
h = 838.8 feet to the nearest tenth.
