Its basically asking for the base so "adjacent" would be "X" and the only place 89 can go is on the opposite so we have

tan(25) = 89/x
x*tan(25) =89
x=89/tan(25) and we get 191 :D

Make sure your calculator is in degree mode

To calculate this you need to imagine triangle which points are:
boat
Top of lighthouse
Bottom of lighthouse

That triangle has 90 degrees angle at bottom of lighthouse. That means that we can use trigonometry to determine length between boat and bottom of lighthouse

tan(25) = 89/x
x = 89/tan(25)
x = 190.86

after rounding, the answer is D, 191 feet

the linear equation y=2x represents the cost y of x pounds of pears. which order pair lies on the graph of the equation? A. (2,4
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

  A.  (2, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The ordered pairs represent (x, y). Since you have y =2x, this is the same as ...

  (x, 2x)

That is, the second number in the pair needs to be twice the first number in the pair. Since you know your times tables, you know that this is not the case for (1, 0), (10, 5) or (4, 12). Those values of x would give (1, 2), (10, 20), (4, 8).

It is the case that you have (x, 2x) for (2, 4).

The point (2, 4) lies on the graph of y = 2x.

Here's the question ​
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter (p) = 8 + 17 + 15 = 40

semi-perimeter (s) = p/2 = 20

Area = square root of s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) where a,b,c are the sides of the triange by Herons formula.

Therefore, area = 20(20-8)(20-15)(20-17) = square root of 3600 = 60

Calculate ZQRP<br> 12 cm<br> Р<br> R<br> 18 cm
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

48 °

Step-by-step explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Adjacent = 12 cm

Hypothenus = 18 cm

Angle R =?

We can obtain angle R by using cosine ratio. This can be obtained as follow:

Cos R = Adjacent / Hypothenus

Cos R = 12 / 18

Cos R = 0.6667

Take the inverse of Cos

R = Cos¯¹ 0.6667

R = 48 °

Thus, <QRP = 48 °
