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

A vine in mr. Jackson’s garden is 3.6 feet long. When it is measured agian, it is 2.1 times as long. How long is the vine
Ket [755]

Take note that the vine was 3.6 ft and now it is 2.1 times as long.

So since is it 2.1 times as long it will be multiplied by 3.6.

3.6(2.1)= 7.56

So it is 7.56 ft long, rounded it is 7.6 ft

Simplify the following expressions. Put your a<br> (3x³-5x² - 7+ 4x4) + (9x4 - 10x² - 5x³ + 3) =
leonid [27]

first we need to get rid of the ( ) so that we can see what the question really says

(3x³-5x² - 7+ 4x4) + (9x4 - 10x² - 5x³ + 3)

= 3x³-5x²-7+4x⁴+9x⁴-10x²-5x³+3

now all we need to do is add up the numbers with the same x's

<em>3x³</em>-5x²-7<u>+4x⁴+9x⁴</u>-10x²<em>-5x³</em>+3

= 13x⁴-2x³-15x²-4

Abdull sells computers for a local computer outlet. He gets paid $400 per month plus a commission of 4.2% on all the computer ha
Fed [463]

Ok. So… Let's see if I can solve this one.

So since they wanted 4.2% out of the 640,000 Abdull makes, we can move the decimal(4.2%) to the left twice. Which will get .042 . The afterword-that will allow us to multiply 640,000 dollar with .042 . Which mean Adbull has receive 26,880 cash that year.

Answer for “A” = 26,880

Ok so his annual salary plus his commission. That means his 400 dollar (per month) plus the amount on the sales commission. Which mean… 400 dollar(Monthly) plus 26,880 dollars. Which will get us 27,280

A = 26,880

B = 27,280

(Im not sure about answer B because Im not sure if they are talking about yearly price for both or monthly payment for 400 dollar plus the monthly commission.) But overall, their,you have your answer.
