Answer:

722 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Tan(22.9) = 305/base

Base = 305/tan(22.9)

Base = 722.036124

To the nearest foot, 722 feet

Answer:

is at a distance of 722 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

we have the angle that forms between the water and the imaginary line between the ship and the tip of the statue

we have the statue height that would be the opposite leg to our angle and we want to know the distance of the ship to the statue that would be the adjacent leg

we see that it has (angle, adjacent, opposite)

well to start we have to know the relationship between angles, legas and the hypotenuse

a: adjacent

o: opposite

h: hypotenuse

sin α = o/h

cos α= a/h

tan α = o/a

it's the tangent

tan α = o/a

we replace the values ​​and solve

tan α = o/a

tan 22.9 = 305/a

a = 305/tan22.9

a = 305/0.4224

a = 722

is at a distance of 722 feet

Answer:C

Step-by-step explanation:

your answer is 390

First area of the rectangle which formula is bxh base time height.

that gives you 300 since 15x20=300

The for the triangle Formula is Basexheight deivded by 2

so 15x12 devided by 2 =90

300+90=390

Hope this helps you. :)
