Given :

A sailor is 30 m above the water in the crow's nest on a sailboat.

The sailor encounters an orca surface at an angle of depression of 15 degrees.

The crows nest is 20 m horizontally from the bow (front) of the boat.

To Find :

How far in front of the boat is the orca.

Solution :

Let, distance of boat front from the crow's nest is x.

So,

\dfrac{30}{20+x}=tan \ 15^{\circ}\\\\x=\dfrac{30}{tan \ 15^{\circ}}-20\\\\x=111.94-20\\\\x=91.94\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.

Which data set does the histogram represent?
MAVERICK [17]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so there is

3, 0-4                  4, 5-9                2, 10-14             1, 15-19       1, 20-24

so you can get rid of the last one saying it has more than 1 number between 20-24.

The 3rd one has to short of numbers for 0-4.

the second one has way to many 0-4's when there should be 3 of them.

therefore your answer is The firstone.
