Vlada [557]

Answer:

The height of the lighthouse is approximately 166.6 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the lighthouse be represented by s, then;

Tan 48° = (opposite) ÷ (adjacent)

Tan 48° = s ÷ 150

⇒ s = 150 × Tan 48°

= 150 × 1.1106

= 166.59

s ≅ 166.6 feet

Therefore, the height of the lighthouse is approximately 166.6 feet.

(1/2)/(2/3) evaluate

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

$\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Find a common denominator for the 2 denominators: 6
Change the fractions: 2 × 3 = 6, 1 × 3 = 3, 3 × 2 = 6, 2 × 2 = 4
Re-write the fractions: $\frac{3}{6}$ and $\frac{4}{6}$
Write as an expression: $\frac{3}{6}$ ÷ $\frac{4}{6}$
$\frac{3}{6}$ ÷ $\frac{4}{6}$ = $\frac{3}{6}$ × $\frac{6}{4}$
$\frac{3}{6}$ × $\frac{6}{4} = \frac{18}{24}$
$\frac{18}{24} = \frac{3}{4}$

I hope this helps!
