Answer:

743.41 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question it is given that height of the tower OS is 175 feet and angle of depression ∠ASB = 13°15'

angle of depression to the boat B will be equal to the angle of elevation "∠B"

Now  ∠ASB = 13°15' ≈ 13° + (\frac{15}{60})°

= 13° + (0.25)°

= 13.25°

Now tan ∠B = \frac{SO}{OB}

 tan (13.25) =  \frac{175}{x}

            x     =  \frac{175}{0.2354}

                   = 743.41 feet.

Motorboat is 743.41 feet far from the shore.

Using a right triangle formed by boat with base and top of lighthouse.Note: 15 minutes = 0.25 degreesLet d be distance the boat is from shore.tan(90−13.25)=d/175
d=175∗tan(76.75)=743.2

What is the lmc of two numbers that have no common factors greater then 1
Luba_88 [7]
We can take prime numbers so they don't have a common factor other than 1.

3, and 5.

So we have to list the multiples to find the LCM

3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18
5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25

15 is the LCM of 3 and 5

So, you can notice that if two numbers, lets call them a and b, have no common factor, then a \times b is the LCM.

Hope that helped :)

Bill is $75. tip is 18% what is the total bill
yarga [219]

Answer:

Total bill = $88.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of bill = $75

Tip = 18%

Amount of tip = \frac{18}{100}*75

Amount of tip = 0.18 * 75

Amount of tip = $13.50

Total bill = Bill + Tip

Total bill = 75 + 13.50

Total bill = $88.50

I own a large truck, and my neighbor owns four small trucks that are all identical. My truck can carry a load of at least $600$
erastova [34]

Answer:

  there is no greatest load

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the load capacities of my truck and my neighbor's truck, respectively. We are given two relations:

  x ≥ y +600 . . . . . my truck can carry at least 600 pounds more

  x ≤ (1/3)(4y) . . . . . my truck carries no more than all 4 of hers

Combining these two inequalities, we have ...

  4/3y ≥ x ≥ y +600

  1/3y ≥ 600 . . . . . . . subtract y

  y ≥ 1800 . . . . . . . . multiply by 3

My truck's capacity is greater than 1800 +600 = 2400 pounds. This is a lower limit. The question asks for an <em>upper limit</em>. The given conditions do not place any upper limit on truck capacity.
