From the top of a 150-ft lighthouse, the angle of depression to a ship in the ocean is 22°. How far is the ship from the base of

the lighthouse? (Round your answer to the nearest foot.)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the situation, a right angle triangle is formed. The height of the lighthouse represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

The horizontal distance, h between the ship and the base of the lighthouse represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

If the angle of depression to the fire that is 22°, the angle of elevation of the lighthouse from the ship is also 7° because they are alternate angles.

To determine h, we would apply

the tangent trigonometric ratio.

Tan θ = opposite side/adjacent side. Therefore,

Tan 22 = 150/h

h = 150/tan22 = 150/0.4040

h = 371 feet

Answer:

the ship is at a distance of 60 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

we have to think of the problem as a right triangle, since

we have 2 legs and 1 hypotenuse, we know the measure of the leg that gives us the height and the angle that that leg touches

the leg we want to calculate is the opposite of the angle we have, since it does not touch

well to start we have to know the relationship between angles, legs and the hypotenuse

a: adjacent

o: opposite

h: hypotenuse

sin α = o/h

cos α= a/h

tan α = o/a

we see that it has (angle, adjacent, opposite)

is the tangent

tan α = o/a

tan 22 = o/150

tan 22 * 150 = o

60.6ft = o

round to the nearest foot

60ft

the ship is at a distance of 60 feet

<h2>a. Answer:</h2>

For this question we'll use the following method:

1. Let's subtract old value from new value

185$-160$ = -25$

The negative value implies that the price has decreased

2. Divide the result by the old value

25$/185$ = 0,1351

3. Convert this value to percentage:

0,1351 x 100 = 13,51%

Finally, by rounding to the nearest tenth:

13,5%

That means 13,5% decrease

<h2 /><h2>b. Answer:</h2>

1. Let's subtract old value from new value

77$-56$ = 21$

The positive value implies that the price has increased

2. Divide the result by the old value

21$/77$ = 0,2727

3. Convert this value to percentage:

0,2727 x 100 = 27,3%

Finally, by rounding to the nearest tenth:

27,3%

That means 27,3% increase

Toby goes on holiday to Geneva, Switzerland.
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Firstly, we have to transform CHF to \£ in order to work with the same currency and make the comparisson:

If \£1=1.55CHF

193.75CHF\frac{\£1}{1.55CHF}

Then:

193.75CHF=\£125

Now we can make the comparisons:

a) In Geneva the watch costs 193.75 CHF=\£125 and in Manchester it costs \£143.

According to this:

<h2>In Geneva the watch is cheaper</h2>

b) If we want to know by how much is cheaper, we have to substract from the expensive price the value of the cheaper price:

\£143-\£125=\£18

Therefore:

<h2>The watch in Geneva is \£18 cheaper than the same watch in Manchester.</h2>
