Create a right triangle.

The height of the leg will be 1250 feet. We are given an angle of depression of 47°, so we can draw an imaginary line parallel to the base of the triangle.

By the AIA Theorem, the angle of the bottom right side of the right triangle will be 47 degrees.

We want to find the distance between the coast and the island. In other words, find the length of the base of the triangle. We can do so with trigonometric ratios.

tan47 = 1250/x

x = 1166.

Answer:

Value of x using quadratic formula (x = -4) and (x = -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Equation

x² + 9x + 20 = 0

Find:

Value of x using quadratic formula

Computation:

Quadratic formula = [-b±√b²-4ac] / 2a

Given equation;

x² + 9x + 20 = 0

a = 1 , b = 9 , c = 20

By putting value

[-9±√9²-4(1)(20)] / 2(1)

[-9±√81-80] / 2

[-9±√1] / 2

(-9 + 1) / 2 , (-9 - 1) / 2

-8 / 2 , 10 / 2

-4 , - 5
