<span>Let </span>

<span>X=  the altitude of the lighthouse above sea level= 80 ft</span>

 A = the angle of depression 

Y= the distance of the boat from the lighthouse= 400 ft

 tan A=X/Y------------------ > 80/400=0.2

arctan (0.2)=11.31 degree

 The answer is the angle of depression is 11 degree

Bruce has a rope that is 21 feet long he needs to cut the rope into 1/5 long peices. How many strips can Bruce cut from his rope
dybincka [34]

Bruce has a rope that is 21 feet long he needs to cut the rope into 1/5 long pieces.

The length of the rope = 21 feet

the length of each strip = \frac{1}{5}

We need to cut the rope 21 feet into \frac{1}{5} strips

To find the number of strips we divide 21 feet by the length of the strip

\frac{21}{\frac{1}{5}} = 21 * \frac{5}{1} = 105

105 strips can Bruce cut from his rope.

Yaneev thinks of a number y. He subtracts three from the number, then doubles it. Then he subtracts three again, and doubles the
Sergio039 [100]

Answer: y=6

Step-by-step explanation:

The given number is y.

According to the question,

Step 1 . subtracts three from the number (y-3), then doubles it

i.e. Final number = 2(y-3)

Step 2 .  subtracts three again i.e. (2(y-3)-3), and doubles the number again

i.e. Final result  = 2(2(y-3)-3)

If the result is his original number y, then

2(2(y-3)-3) =y

⇒ 2(2y-6-3)=y   [ using distributive property]

⇒ 2(2y-9)=y

⇒ 2(2y)-2(9)=y [ using distributive property]

⇒ 4y -18=y

⇒ 4y -y= 18 

⇒ 3y= 18

⇒ y= 6    [Divide both sides by 3]

Hence,  y=6
