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:

d ≈ 5.7

Step-by-step explanation:

[Given] d² = 33

[Square root both sides] \sqrt{d^{2} } = \sqrt{33}

[Solve for \sqrt{33} and cancel out the square root + square] d ≈ 5.74456

[Round to nearest tenth] d ≈ 5.7

Have a nice day!

Find the co-ordinates of the point of trisection of the line joining the points A(1,8) and B(4,2).
Licemer1 [7]

<u>coordinates of the point are (2,6) and (3,4)</u>

Answer:

Solution given:

let the given point be A(1,8) and B(4,2).

P and Q are the two points on AB such that

AP=PQ=QB=k

now

comparing AP and PB

AP=k

PB=2k

ratio of AP and PB =\frac{1k}{2k}= ratio 1:2

now

finding p

for this

(m_1,m_2)=(1,2)

For AB

(x_1,y_1)=(1,8)

(x_2,y_2)=(4,2)

now by using division formula

(x,y)=(\frac{m_1x_2+m_2x_1}{m_1+m2},\frac{m_1y_2+m_2y_1}{m_1+m2})

=(\frac{1*4+2*1}{1+2},\frac{1*2+2*8}{1+2})=(2,6)

similarly

Q divides AB

Ratio of AQ and QB =\frac{2k}{1k}= ratio 2:1

(x_1,y_1)=(1,8)

(x_2,y_2)=(4,2)

(m_1,m_2)=(2,1)

by using division formula

(a,b)=(\frac{m_1x_2+m_2x_1}{m_1+m2},\frac{m_1y_2+m_2y_1}{m_1+m2})

=(\frac{2*4+1*1}{2+1},\frac{2*2+1*8}{2+1})=(3,4)
