Answer:

The boat is 5727.25ft far from the coast

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer the figure given.

We need to find how far is the boat from the coast = AB

Angle of elevation = 2°

The lighthouse on the coast is 200 feet tall, AC = 200 ft

We have

           tan2=\frac{AC}{AB}=\frac{200}{AB}\\\\AB=\frac{200}{tan2}=5727.25ft

The boat is 5727.25ft far from the coast

harmaine spent a total of $20 at the grocery store. Of this amount, $9 she spent on fruit. What percentage of the total did she
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

45%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's set up a fraction of how much money she spent for fruit out of the total amount of money she spent.

\frac{9}{20}

For a percentage, we need a fraction out of 100. To do this, we can multiply  the fraction by 5/5 (5*20=100). Notice we can only do this since 5/5 is equivalent to 1, so you are technically multiplying the fraction by 1.

\frac{9}{20}*\frac{5}{5}=\frac{45}{100}

A percentage is just the numerator of a number over 100 therefore it is equal to...

45%

Answer: d. (if a polygon has congruent angles, then it is regular)

Step-by-step explanation:

Converses follow the format of "if q, then p" (while  the original conditional is "if p, then q")

Just because there are clouds does not mean its raining (cloudy days)

just because it has four equal sides does not make it a square (rhombi have four equal sides but are not squares)

just because you cannot see the sun does not mean it is not daytime (solar eclipses)

if a polygon is regular, it must have congruent angles

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (1, -6) and (-8, 9) ?Write your answer in simplest form.
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

5/-3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope formula is rise/run.

If you graph this, the two points make a line that slopes downwards. The higher point is in the negative axis, which means that the run will be negative.

you rise up 15 points from the first point (1,-6) to get to the same level as the second point. (-8,9). This is your rise.

You go over to the other point, this is your run. The run is -9.

15/-9

we can simplify  this fraction.

5/-3 is your final answer.
