Surveyors wished to know the distance across a lake between A and B. They measured the distance from B to C as 100 m and the ang

le from C to A to be 55°. Knowing that the angle between CB and BA was 90°, they used trig to solve for the distance. Show how it was done

Answer:

<h3>AB ≈ 70m</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Check the attachment for the diagram.

You can see from the diagram that it is a right angled triangle with opposite side AB and adjacent side BC. Using SOH, CAH, TOA trig identity to get the length of AB. According to TOA;

tan 35° = opposite/adjacent

tan 35° = AB/BC

tan 35° = AB/100

AB = 100tan35°

AB = 100 * 0.7002

AB = 70.02m

Hence the distance across a lake between A and B is approximately 70m

Given that (-3,7) is on the graph of f(x), find the corresponding point for the function f(x + 5).
Stella [2.4K]
We have that
<span>(-3,7) is on the graph of f(x), find the corresponding point for the function
f(x + 5)

we know that
in the transformation f(x)-------> f(x+5)
the point (x.y) in f(x) becomes a point (x-5,y) in f(x+5)
so
(-3,7)-----------> becomes a point (-3-5,7)------> (-8,7)

the answer is
</span>(-8,7)<span>
