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

Mathematics

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

How do I rotate a figure 90 degrees clockwise
cricket20 [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to have tracing paper or patty paper (cause that's what my teacher uses). Next you draw the figure along with the x and y-axis on it as well. Then you mark the x and y-axis and rotate the paper 90 degrees clockwise. Lastly if the x-axis is on the y-axis, mark it as the y-axis and if the y-axis is on the x-axis, also mark it as the x-axis.

I hope this helped :)

Attorney A charges a fixed fee on $250 for an initial meeting and $150 per hour for all hours worked after that. Write an equati
Anettt [7]

let h be the number of hours then

A → C = 150h + 250 ( where C is charge )

B → C = 175h + 150

for 26 hours

A → C = (150 × 26 ) + 250 = 3900 + 250 = $4150

B → C = (175 × 26 ) + 150 = 4550 + 150 = $4700

Attorney A is cheaper for 26 hours, thus better deal

Equate the 2 equations to find hours they charge the same

175h + 150 = 150h + 250 ( subtract 150h from both sides )

25h + 150 = 250 ( subtract 150 from both sides )

25h = 100 ( divide both sides by 25 )

h = 4 ← number of hours when charges for both are equal

Thus Attorney A becomes a better deal at 5 hours
