A biologist wants to know the width w of a river in order to properly set instruments for studying the pollutants in the water.

From point A, the biologist walks upstream 100 feet and sights to point C. From this sighting, it is determined that θ = 56° (see figure). How wide is the river? Verify your result numerically. (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

Answer:   The river is 148.3 feet wide.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

Please refer the diagram I have attached.

The triangle formed is a right triangle.

Using SOH CAH TOA

tan 56 = \frac{x}{100}

Multiplying 100 in both sides

x = 100 \times tan56

x = 100 \times 1.4826

x = 148.26

Rounding to the one decimal place

x = 148.3

Hence river is 148.3 feet wide.   .............. Answer

Hope it will help :)

Answer:  A

The y-intercept is 3, not -3, so answer C is eliminated

Choose a point that is clearly in the shaded area or one that is clearly in the unshaded region

I choose the point (0, 0) and substituted these values in the equation and since 0 < 3, A is the correct answer

If sin y° = 7 over q and tan y° = 7 over r, what is the value of sec y°?
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Sec y = q/r

Step-by-step explanation:

Sin y = 7/q

tan y = 7/r

Mathematically cos y = sin y/tan y

But sec y = 1/cos y

So therefore sec y = tan y/sin y

So that would be ;

7/r divided by 7/q

= 7/r * q/7

= q/r
