Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a right triangle trig problem. Picture a right triangle. The height of the triangle is the height of the lighthouse, your distance from the base of the lighthouse is what we are solving for, and the reference angle is 2 degrees, which is the angle of inclination from where you stand to the top of this lighthouse. We have the reference angle, the side opposite the reference angle, and we are looking for the side adjacent to the reference angle. This is the tangent ratio: the side opposite the reference angle over the side adjacent to the reference angle. We know the measure of the reference angle and we know the value of the side opposite the reference angle. Filling in:
and
so
x = 5727.25 feet, the third choice down
15.04 degrees or answer A is correct.
The Law of Sines is the relationship between the sides and angles of non-right (oblique) triangles . Simply, it states that the ratio of the length of a side of a triangle to the sine of the angle opposite that side is the same for all sides and angles in a given triangle. The formula for it is A=b•sin a/sin b.
You can transform the law of sines formulas to solve some problems of triangulation (solving a triangle). You can use them to find:
The remaining sides of a triangle, knowing two angles and one side.
The third side of a triangle, knowing two sides and one of the non-enclosed angles. In some cases (ambiguous cases) there may be two solutions to the same triangle. If the following conditions are fulfilled, your triangle may be an ambiguous case:
You only know the angle α and sides a and c;
Angle α is acute (α < 90°);
a is shorter than c (a < c);
a is longer than the altitude h from angle β, where h = c * sin(α) (a > c * sin(α)).
I hate useless complicated math lol ;)

the line is lined up with them !
Answer:
B. 
Step-by-step explanation:
Option B is the correct answer
Would it be 33/10? If you are multiplying and then division you would use the inverse of the divided fraction and multiply. So you could invert 2/5 to 5/2 and add to 4/5. After finding the common denominator it would be adding 8/10 + 25/10 = 33/10.
