Answer: the distance of the boat from the foot of the lighthouse is 290.5 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
The right angle triangle ABC representing the scenario is shown in the attached photo.
Angle A is alternate to the angle of depression, hence, they are the same.
The height of the lighthouse represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle. The distance, x of the boat from the foot of the lighthouse represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.
To determine x, we would apply
the tangent trigonometric ratio.
Tan θ, = opposite side/adjacent side. Therefore,
Tan 11.1 = 57/x
x = 57/Tan 11.1 = 57/0.1962
x = 290.5 feet to the nearest tenth.
The prallelogram whose adjacent sides are equal and one vertex angle is 90 degrees is a square.
The value of angle 1 is 90 degrees as the diagonal of the square intersect at 90 degrees.
The value of y is 23.
The diagonal of the square bisect the vertex angle hence the angle of 3x is 45 degrees.
Thus, the value of x is 15 degrees.
The value of 12z is 45 degrees.
Thus, the required value of z is 3.75 degrees.
