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

A variable in the radicand of a radical expression _______________ represents a positive quantity. Always Sometimes Never
aliya0001 [1]
Sometimes

1. The radical expression \sqrt[n]{} with even n requires <span>a variable with positive quantity. For example, if you have \sqrt[4]{x^3}, then always x^3\ge 0.
</span>

2. If you have radical expression \sqrt[n]{} with odd n, ia variable may be arbitrary. For example, for \sqrt[7]{x} you can consider all real x.

PLZZZZ HELP MEEEE!!!! (30 points)
enot [183]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is the rise (y) over the run (x) between 2 points on a graph. This means that from one point go up (or down) first, then count over from that first point right (or left). A positive number on top indicates "up" and a negative number on top indicates "down"; a positive number on bottom indicates "right" while a negative number on bottom indicates "left". Keep in mind the following:

\frac{-y}{x} =\frac{y}{-x} =-\frac{y}{x}

It doesn't matter where you "put" the negative, your slope will come out correct as long as you are moving from one point to the other correctly.

Our given slope is 4/5. They are both positive, so that means from the red point on the left ("read" a graph from left to right, just like you're reading this) we will go up 4 units. From where we "land" we will go right 5 units. As you can see, the only graph that lands on the red dot on the right when we follow that slope is the second one.
