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

If A and B are independent events, P(A and B) =​
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

<u>If A and B are independent events, P(A and B) =​ P (A) * P (B)</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's recall that independent events means that when one event occurs, it has no impact or influence on the probability of another event occurring. Here’s an example. Let’s say that we have two events, A and B.  

Event A : it rains in Seattle

Event B : the Super Bowl match is cancelled in Miami

The two events are independent; if it rains in Seattle, this will have no impact on the probability that the Super Bowl match is cancelled in Miami. Raining in Seattle and the cancellation of the Super Bowl are independent events, therefore:

<u>P(A and B) =​ P (A) * P (B)</u>
