See the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that
in the triangle ABC
tan 48°=AB/AC--------> AC=AB/tan48°------> 1200/tan 48°------> 1080.48 ft

in the triangle ABD
tan 33°=AB/AD---------> AD=AB/tan 33°-----> 1200/tan 33°------> 1847.88 ft

<span>the distance between the ships is AD-AC---> 1847.88-1080.48----> 767.4 ft

the answer is 
</span>the distance between the ships is 767.4 ft<span>

</span>

5 The area of a rectangular lawn is 255 m². If its length is 15 m, find its perimeter.​
Marina CMI [18]
Area of a rectangular lawn = l×b

255=15×x

Hence the breadth is 17 m

Hence perimeter =2(l+b)=2(15+17)=64

Trigonometry... hellpp plzzz​
rjkz [21]

Answer:

17.1 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a tangent question because angle XYZ is adjacent to 13 and opposite of 4. This means that we will have to use opposite/adjacent. This is very simple if you know the formula. Just plug those numbers in to get 4/13 = 0.3076923076923077. However, now we need to find it in degrees. If you have an inverse calculator near you, you would plug it in to get about 17.10, which rounds to 17.1.
