Answer:

The two boats are 323.72 m apart.

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached diagram.

B is the point of observation and AB is the height of the parasailer i.e. 75 m.

Now, from the right triangle Δ ABC,

\tan 79^{\circ} = \frac{AB}{AC} = \frac{75}{AC}

⇒ AC = 14.58 meters.

Again, from the right triangle Δ ABD,

\tan 12.5^{\circ} = \frac{AB}{AD} = \frac{75}{AD}

⇒ AD = 338.30 meters.

Hence, CD = AD - AC = 338.30 - 14.58 = 323.72 m

Therefore, the two boats are 323.72 m apart. (Answer)

Find the nth term of this number sequence<br> 7, 10, 13, 16, ...<br><br> help please !!
LenKa [72]

Answer:

a_{n} = 3n + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

there is a common difference between consecutive terms , that is

10 - 7 = 13 - 10 = 16 - 13 = 3

this indicates the sequence is arithmetic with nth term

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

here a₁ = 7 and d = 3 , then

a_{n} = 7 + 3(n - 1) = 7 + 3n - 3 = 3n + 4

Find the measure of each angle indicated.​
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

90 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of the angles in a triangle = 180°

Opposite angles are equal

For two parallel lines and a transversal,

corresponding angles are equal, and

alternate angles are equal.

45+45=90.

180-90=90

Plus, you can see that the angle forms a perfect 90 degree angle.

Verify tan(α+β) = [tan(α)+tan(β)] / [1 + tan(α)tan(β)]
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Proved

Step-by-step explanation:

To Prove: tan(\alpha+\beta) =\dfrac{tan(\alpha)+tan(\beta)}{1 + tan(\alpha)tan(\beta)}

Proof:

Now: tan \theta =\dfrac{sin\theta }{cos \theta}

Therefore:

tan (\alpha+\beta)=\dfrac{ sin (\alpha+\beta)}{cos (\alpha+\beta) }

Applying these angle sum formula

sin (\alpha+\beta)=sin \alpha cos \alpha + sin \beta cos \beta\\cos (\alpha+\beta)=cos \alpha cos \beta - sin \alpha sin \beta

tan (\alpha+\beta)=\dfrac{ sin \alpha cos \alpha + sin \beta cos \beta}{cos \alpha cos \beta - sin \alpha sin \beta }

Divide all through by cos \alpha cos \beta

tan (\alpha+\beta)=\dfrac{ (sin \alpha cos \alpha)/(cos \alpha cos \beta) + (sin \beta cos \beta)/(cos \alpha cos \beta)}{(cos \alpha cos \beta)/(cos \alpha cos \beta) - (sin \alpha sin \beta)/(cos \alpha cos \beta) }\\\\tan (\alpha+\beta)=\dfrac{\frac{sin \alpha}{cos \alpha}+\frac{sin \beta}{cos \beta} }{1-tan \alpha tan \beta} \\$Therefore:\\\\tan (\alpha+\beta)=\dfrac{tan \alpha+tan \beta}{1-tan \alpha tan \beta}

=sin \alpha cos \beta + cos \alpha sin \beta/cos \alpha cos \beta/cos \alpha cos \beta- sin \alpha sin \beta/cos \alpha cos \beta  

=sin \alpha/cos \alpha + sin \beta/cos \beta/1-tan \alpha tan \beta  

=tan A + tan B/1-tan A tan B
