Answer:

So, the distance from boat to matt is 455.81535feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given height of a cliff is 305 feet

and the measurement of the angle of depression to a boat on a lake is 42 degrees

so, we can draw diagram

Let's assume

distance from boat to matt is x

We can use trig

sin(42)=\frac{305}{x}

now, we can solve for x

x=\frac{305}{sin(42)}

x=455.81535feet

So, the distance from boat to matt is 455.81535feet

Consider the contrapositive of the statement you want to prove.

The contrapositive of the logical statement

<em>p</em> ⇒ <em>q</em>

is

¬<em>q</em> ⇒ ¬<em>p</em>

In this case, the contrapositive claims that

"If there are no scalars <em>α</em> and <em>β</em> such that <em>c</em> = <em>α</em><em>a</em> + <em>β</em><em>b</em>, then <em>a₁b₂</em> - <em>a₂b₁</em> = 0."

The first equation is captured by a system of linear equations,

\begin{cases}c_1 = \alpha a_1 + \beta b_1\\ c_2 = \alpha a_2 + \beta b_2\end{cases}

or in matrix form,

\begin{pmatrix}c_1\\c_2\end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix}a_1&b_1\\a_2&b_2\end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}\alpha\\\beta\end{pmatrix}

If this system has no solution, then the coefficient matrix on the right side must be singular and its determinant would be

\begin{vmatrix}a_1&b_1\\a_2&b_2\end{vmatrix} = a_1b_2-a_2b_1 = 0

and this is what we wanted to prove. QED

A cone is filled to a height of 3 inches with a liquid. The liquid is then poured into an empty cylinder with the same height an
Tasya [4]
Answer: 1 inch

Volume of the cylinder = πr²h

Volume of the cone = 1/3πr²h

If the radius are the same for both the cone and the cylinder, then the liquid will reach 1/3 of its height in the cylinder compared to the cone. 

Height = 1/3 x 3 inches 
Height = 1 inch

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The height of the cylinder will be 1 inch.
