We have a triangle where.
a=adjacent leg of A=30 ft
A=90º-(angle of depression)=90º-10º=80º
b=distance between the base of the lighthouse and the ship
tan A= opposite /adjacent.
tan 80º=b /30 ft  ⇒b=(30 ft)(tan 80º)≈170.14 ft

Answer: the distance would be 170.14 ft

If the simple interest on ​$7000 for 3 years is ​$1890​, then what is the interest​ rate?
hoa [83]

Answer:

0.09 or 9%

Step-by-step explanation:

I = Prt

Given:

I = 1890

P = 7000

t = 3

Work:

I = Prt

r = I/(Pt)

r = 1890/(7000 x 3)

r = 1890/21000

r = 0.09

HELP MEEEEE<br> In complete sentences, describe the characteristics of this scatterplot.
Umnica [9.8K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Scatter plots are dots scattered all over the graph.  I think that this is the easiest graph because all you need to do is put a dot where you want it.

A scatter plot doesn't need any lines, all it needs is dots.

Which of the following is a validation of concurrency between two polygons?
tatiyna
Concurrent validity is a type of evidence that can be gathered to defend the use of a test for predicting other outcomes. It is a parameter used in sociology, psychology, and other psychometric or behavioral sciences. Concurrent validity is demonstrated when a test correlates well with a measure that has previously been validated. The two measures may be for the same construct, but more often used for different, but presumably related, constructs.
