From the top of a 210 foot lighthouse located at sea level, the keeper spots a boat at an angle of depression of 23 degrees

1 answer:

6 0

The distance from the lighthouse to the boat will be given by:
tan θ=opposite/adjacent
θ=angle of depression=23
opposite= height of the lighthouse
adjacent=distance from the boat to the bottom of the light house
hence
tan 23=210/a
thus solving for a we obtain:
a=210/tan23
hence
a=494.73 ft

Sin(A+B-C) find the equation

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

[SInA][CosB][CosC] + [CosA][SinB][CosC] - [CosA][CosB][SinC] - [SinA][SinB][SinC]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Sin (A + B - C)

Find;

Expansion of given expression

Computation:

Sin (A + B - C)

Sin [(A + B) - C]

Sin(A + B)CosC - Cos(A + B)SinC

[SInACosB + CosASinB]CosC - [CosACosB - SinASinB]SinC

SInACosBCosC + CosASinBCosC - CosACosBSinC - SinASinBSinC

[SInA][CosB][CosC] + [CosA][SinB][CosC] - [CosA][CosB][SinC] - [SinA][SinB][SinC]
