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)

A rectangular room is 3 meters longer than it is wide, and its perimeter is 22 meters. Find the dimension of the room. The lengt
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

Width = 4 m

Length = 7 m

Step-by-step explanation:

given:

perimeter of a rectangle = 22m

L = 3 + W

perimeter = 2L + 2W

perimeter = 2 (3 + W) + 2W

22 = 6 + 2W + 2W

22 - 6 = 4W

W = 16 / 4

W = 4 m

L = 3 + W

L = 3 + 4

L = 7 m

check:

perimeter = 2L + 2W

22 = 2(7) + 2(4)

22 = 14 + 8

22 = 22  ---- OK
