The length of the island will be given as follows:
tan θ=opposite/adjacent
thus:
tan75.8= 3000/a1
a1=3000tan75.8
a1=11855.885 ft

also:
tan15.6=3000/a2
a2=3000tan15.6
a2=837.62 ft
Thus the length of the island will be:
11855.885-837.615
=11,018.24 ft

I need help with this​
iogann1982 [59]
Answer:
A) y=1/3x+5
B) y=-2x+9
C) y=-3
D) y=2x+9
E) y=-10x+80
F) y=x-2

Explanation:
Use y=mx+b
m=slope
b=starting point (or where it crosses the y-axis

For slope, use rise over run.
To determine negative slope, read from left to right and see if it’s going up or down. If down it’s negative, if up then positive.

Also BE CAREFUL, on D, the y-axis is labeled differently. Take an extra look at it.

∠85° is supplementary to which of the following angles?
Illusion [34]

Answer:

∠95

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello There!

the measure of supplementary angles add up to equal 180

so to find an angle that is supplementary to angle 85 we subtract it from 180

180-85-95

so an angle that is supplementary to angle 85 would have a measure of 95 degrees
