The ocean surface is at 0 ft elevation. A diver is underwater at a depth of 138 ft. In this area, the ocean floor has a depth of

247 ft. A rock formation rises to a peak 171 ft above the ocean floor. How many feet below the top of the rock formation is the diver? I want to know how you would work this out.

We know that the ocean floor has a depth of 247 feet, and we also know that the diver is underwater at depth of 138 ft, so its distance from the ocean floor will be:

feet

Now, the rock formations rises to a peak 171 to above the ocean floor, so to find how many feet below the top of the rock formations is the diver, we are going to subtract the distance to the driver form the ocean floor from the rock formations height:

feet

We can conclude that the diver is 62 feet below the top of the rock formations.

hope it helps

ahmed is sitting on a dock watching a float plane in a harbour. At a certain time, the plane is 350 m above the water and 470 m
Pavel [41]

Answer:

The angle of elevation of the plane measured from Ahmed is approximately 36.67°

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters of the float plane are;

The height of the float plane above the water, y = 350 m

The horizontal distance of the float plane from Ahmed, x = 470 m

Given that Ahmed is sitting on the dock, by the water, by trigonometric ratios, we have;

The height of the float plane, the distance of the plane from Ahmed and the line of sight forming the angle of elevation of the plane measured from Ahmed, form a right triangle

tan\angle X = \dfrac{Opposite \ leg \ length}{Adjacent \ Leg\ length}

Therefore

tan(\theta) = \dfrac{y}{x}

Where;

θ = The angle of elevation of the plane measured from Ahmed

y = The leg of the right triangle opposite the reference angle

x = The leg  of the right adjacent to reference angle

Therefore;

θ = arctan(y/x) which gives;

θ = arctan(350/470) ≈ 36.67°

The angle of elevation of the plane measured from Ahmed, θ ≈ 36.67°.

Last month, ebony had 72/126 in her account to what she has this month. 72/126 as a percentage.

Ratio:

72:126

X100

7,200:12,600
