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

Algebra 2...can someone tell me how to do this???
crimeas [40]

Use the 2 dots on the line located at (0,1) and (-3,0).


The slope is the change in Y over the change in X:


Change in Y = 0-1 = -1

Change in X = -3 - 0 = -3

Slope = -1 / -3 = 1/3

They intercept in this case is Y1 which = 1.


The equation is y = 1/3x + 1

A circle with radius 4 inches is inscribed in an equilateral triangle. Find the area of the triangle.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

The inscribed circle has its center at the point of intersection of the angle bisectors, which also happen to be the medians. Hence the altitude of the triangle is 3 times the radius, or 12 inches.

The side length of this triangle is 2/√3 times the altitude, so the area is

... Area = (1/2)·b·h = (1/2)·(24/√3 in)·(12 in)

... Area = 48√3 in² ≈ 83.1384 in²
