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

Answer:

6x2 + 23x + 7 = 0

Factorization:

(2x + 7)(3x + 1) = 0

Solutions based on factorization:

2x + 7 = 0   ⇒   x1 = −7

2

= −3.5

3x + 1 = 0   ⇒   x2 = −1

3

≈ −0.333333

Extrema:

Min = (−1.916667, −15.041667)

What is 778,400,000 in scientific notation?
FinnZ [79.3K]

When working with very large or very small numbers, scientists, mathematicians, and engineers use scientific notation to express these quantities. Scientific notation is a mathematical abbreviation, based on the idea that it is easier to read an exponent than to count many zeros in a number. Very large or very small numbers need less space when written in scientific notation because the position values ​​are expressed as powers of 10. Calculations with long numbers are easier to do when using scientific notation
