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.

Answer:

56.3 kilometers per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

We know D = RT

where

D is distance

R is rate (speed)

T is time

Let's Bill's rate be "x". Thus using equation we can write:

D = xt

We know Eugene travelled 21.1 faster than Bill, so Eugene's rate is 21.1 + x. So we can write:

D = (21.1 + x)t

D = 21.1t + xt

Now, putting t = 1 in both since after 1 hour given, we have:

D = x(1)

D = x

and

D = 21.1(1) + x(1)

D = 21.1 + x

We know the sum of both the distance is 133.7, so we can write:

x + 21.1 + x = 133.7

Solving for x:

2x = 133.7 - 21.1

2x = 112.6

x = 112.6 / 2

x = 56.3 km/hr

This is Bill's rate: 56.3 kilometers per hour
