The correct answer is line q
the answer to this question would be c- 15.6
Answer: OPTION C.
Step-by-step explanation:
Observe the triangle ABC attached.
Notice that the angle of depression is represented with 
.
Knowing that the top of a lighthouse is 260 feet above water and the ship is 270 feet offshore, you can find the value of by using arctangent:
In this case you can identify that:
Therefore, substuting values into , you get that the angle of depression is:
2(4y+1) = 3y. We need to solve for y.
First let's get ride of the parenthesis by developing 2(4y+1). This means to multiply 2 by 4y and 2 by 1, and add them.
2(4y+1) = 2*4y + 2*1 = 8y + 2
So 2(4y+1)=3y
8y+2 = 3y
Then you subtract 8y from each side to have the variables on a side and the numbers on the other:
3y - 8y = 8y + 2 - 8y
-5y = 2
Then you divide each side by -5 to get the variable y alone on a side and its value on the other:
(-5y)/-5 = 2/-5
y = -2/5
You can re-check your answer (very important):
2(4y + 1) = 2(4*-2/5 + 1) = -1.2
3y = 3 * -2/5 = -1.2
So 2(4y+1)=3y= -1.2
The answer has been approved.
Hope this Helps! :)
