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

Answer:

97,99,101,103

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = first odd integer

x+2 = 2nd odd integer

x+4 = 3rd odd integer

x+6 = 4th odd integer

Sum of 4 odd integers is 400

x+ (x+2) + (x+4)+(x+6) = 400

Combine like terms

4x +12 = 400

Subtract 12 from each side

4x+12-12 = 400-12

4x = 388

Divide by 4 on each side

4x/4 = 388/4

x=97

The first integer is 97

The 2nd is 97+2 =99

The third ix 97+4 = 101

The 4th is 97+6 = 103
