Lol


trouble varies directly as distance
lets say t=trouble and d=distance
t=kd
k is constant

given
when t=20, and d=400
find k
20=400k
divide by 400 both sides
1/20=k



t=(1/20)d

given, d=60
find t

t=(1/20)60
t=60/20
t=3

From the top of a 150-ft lighthouse, the angle of depression to a ship in the ocean is 22°. How far is the ship from the base of
zepelin [54]

Answer:

the ship is at a distance of 60 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

we have to think of the problem as a right triangle, since

we have 2 legs and 1 hypotenuse, we know the measure of the leg that gives us the height and the angle that that leg touches

the leg we want to calculate is the opposite of the angle we have, since it does not touch

well to start we have to know the relationship between angles, legs and the hypotenuse

a: adjacent

o: opposite

h: hypotenuse

sin α = o/h

cos α= a/h

tan α = o/a

we see that it has (angle, adjacent, opposite)

is the tangent

tan α = o/a

tan 22 = o/150

tan 22 * 150 = o

60.6ft = o

round to the nearest foot

60ft

the ship is at a distance of 60 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

10. when u add 7x+3y and 4x+4y you will get 11x+7y. 13x+8y minus 11x+7y will be 2x+y

11. when u add 3x^2+7x+1 and x^2-x+1 u will get 4x^2+6x+2. 5x^2-9x+5 minus 4x^2+6x+2 will be x^2-15x+3
