Answer:
96 units^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the area of a triangle: b*h/2
b= 12
h= 16
Work:
12*16/2
192/2
96 uints^2
Notice the picture below
so.... the angle of depression, is above in dashed lines.... however, the angle of depression, is identical to the angle of elevation from the water, since, both angles are "alternate interior" angles
now, using the 45-45-90 rule, then we know the swimmer is 90 feet from the lighthouse, then just use the tangent ratio to get "x"
Integers that are not whole numbers are like -5 -8 -7 and etc...
Are you asking if it's true or false?
Because it's false, they are not necessarily adjacent.
