Answer: The boat moved 768.51 feet  in that time .

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Height of the lighthouse = 1000 feet

Angle depression to boat 'a' = 29°

Angle of depression  to shore 'b' = 44°

Consider ΔABC,

\tan 44\textdegree=\frac{AB}{BC}\\\\\tan 44\textdegree=\frac{1000}{BC}\\\\BC=\frac{1000}{\tan 44\textdegree}\\\\BC=1035.53\ feet

Now, Consider, ΔABD,

\tan 29\textdegree=\frac{AB}{BD}\\\\\tan 29\textdegree=\frac{1000}{BD}\\\\BD=\frac{1000}{\tan 29\textdegree}\\\\BD=1804.04\ feet

We need to find the distance that the boat moved in that time i.e. BC

so,

DC=BD-BC\\\\CD=1804.04-1035.53\\\\CD=768.51\ feet

Hence, the boat moved 768.51 feet  in that time .

On the surface of the moon, the value of g is 1.67 m/s2. What is the horizontal distance traveled during a 2.00-meter high jump
rodikova [14]
To solve this question, you need to find how long jump is. For 2m high with <span>1.67 m/s2 it would be:

h= 1/2 gt^2
2= 1/2 * (1.67) t^2
t^2= 1.67
t= 1.29

If the speed is 20 mph and the jump is 2 second, the distance traveled would be:
20 miles/ hour * 1.29 second * (1 hour/3600second)= 0.007179 miles

If you need to convert it to meter then: </span>0.007179 mile * 1609.34meter/ mile= 11.55 meter

Which formula is easier to use. Finding the area of a trapezoid or circle? Explain in detail with a minimum of 4 sentence
Scrat [10]

Answer: Circle, in my opinion

Step-by-step explanation:

Trapezoid Formula: (a+b/2)h

Circle Formula: πr*2

Solving a circle requires less steps than solving for a trapezoid would, so in my opinion, finding the area of a circle is easier than a trapezoid.

Hope this helps!

Two trains leave stations 338 miles apart at the same and travel toward each other. One train travels at 75 miles per hour while
AleksandrR [38]

If they're travelling towards each other;
Effective speed = 75+55 = 130

Distance = 338m

Time= distance/ speed
T= 338/130
T= 2.6 hrs
