Answer:
I agree that this question can be confusing:
Apparently point A and point B must be on the same straight line (measured from the light house or the question would be nonsensical)
tan 13 = H / DA where H is height of lighthouse
tan 8 = H / DB tangent measured from point B
tan 13 / tan 8 = DB / DA
DB = .2309 / .1405 * 1279 = 2101 ft
DB - DA = 2101 - 1279 = 822.0 ft
Rotate one of them so the right angle is in the same orientation as the other one.
1. AB = DE
2. CB = FE
3. AC = DF
4. Compare the length of two known sides: cb and EF
CB = 3 and EF = 8
8/3 = 2 2/3 scale factor
5. Ab is side de. Multiply the length of ab by the scale factor:
4 x 2 2/3 = 10 2/3
6. FD = sqrt ( 10 2/3^2 + 8^2)
FD = 13 1/3
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4 = 9/12
This is because
3 x 3 = 9
4 x 3 = 12
3/4 = 9/12
Hope that helps!
An accurate estimate is anywhere from 0.06 to 0.07. The exact answer is 0.06921568627.
Answer:
-8
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4 x = -2
You want the value of x. x is being multiplied by 1/4. To get x alone on the left side, you need to divide both sides by 1/4. Dividing by 1/4 is the same as multiplying by 4.
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4.
4 * 1/4 x = -2 * 4
4 * 1/4 = 1, so on the left side you get 1x which is just x.
x = 8
Answer: -8
