Answer:

The distance of the ship from the cliff is 38.465 feet

The height of the cliff is 46.28 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

As shown in the figure attached d is the distance from the ship to the cliff, and h is the height of the cliff from the ship.

From trigonometry

tan(20^o)=\frac{14}{d}

d=\frac{14}{tan(20^o)}=38.465\:feet.\\\\\boxed{d=38.465ft}

This is the distance to the cliff.

And we have

tan(40^o)=\frac{h}{d}

since d=38.465ft

h=d*tan(40^o)=38.465*tan(40^o)=32.28ft

Ad the height of the cliff is just 14+h or

32.28+14=46.28 ft\\\\\boxed{height=46.28ft}

Which is the height of the cliff.

The denominator of a fraction is three more than the numerator. When both are increased by 1 the fraction becomes 1/2. What is t
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = numerator

3 + x = denominator

\frac{x}{3+x}

the numerator and denominator are increased by 1 , the fraction becomes

\frac{x + 1}{4 + x} = \frac{1}{2}

cross multiply

2(x + 1 ) = 4 + x

2x + 2 = 4 + x

combine like terms

2x - x = 4 - 2

x = 2 = numerator

denominator = 2 + 3 = 5

2/5 fraction

Guys please help, ill give brainliest to the right answer

Answer:

Associative Property of Addition

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, in the second line, there are plus signs (+'s), indicating this is addition. But this time, unlike the first line, the numbers are grouped together with parentheses. When numbers are grouped with parentheses, it means it is the Associative property. Because we are adding, it's the associative property of ADDITION.

Hope this helped!

Is Statistics mathematics or science? Defend your answer.
ohaa [14]

Statistics is related to maths because we study, use and even consider statistic problems with reference to mathematics.

• It is mostly used to find the census, which is maths.

• It is used to find interest rates and other banking terms using statistics, which is again related to math.

• It is also used to find the average people living in a village or panchayat, which is also math.

Therefore I strongly believe that Statistics is Maths.

Thank You!
