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

C. 3/5
The definition of terminating decimal is that it’s an answer that come to an end after a few decimal places. When looking at a b and d their denominators are 7 and 3 which will give answers with a never ending amount of decimals. This makes them nonterminal decimals. So the answer is c because it has a decimal place and it can give a final answer
