Answer:
19.4 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
When calculating distances using perpendicular angles, we use trig functions such as Sin, Cos, and Tan.
- Sine is defined in a perpendicular triangle as the ratio of the opposite side to the angle over the hypotenuse.
- Cosine is defined in a perpendicular triangle as the ratio of the adjacent side to the angle over the hypotenuse.
- Tangent is defined in a perpendicular triangle as the ratio of the opposite side over the adjacent side.
Because our angle and know side value are across from each other and we need to know the hypotenuse, we chose to use Sine.
We set up the equation
.
We isolate h by multiplying h across the equal sign and dividing sin (68) across as well. 
And finally we have
. We input to calculator.

See the attached picture below showing the shore with the boat out at sea and the position of the person.
Nancy's rate=27 mph
Greg's rate=45 mph
t=Greg's time
t+2=Nancy's time
Since they both traveled same distance then:
27(t+2)=45t
27t+54=45t
18t=54
t=3 hours
Greg will pass Nancy after 3 hours
Answer:
11,880 different ways.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that from a pool of 12 candidates, the offices of president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer will be filled. We are asked to find the number of ways in which the offices can be filled.
We will use permutations for solve our given problem.
, where,
n = Number of total items,
r = Items being chosen at a time.
For our given scenario
and
.





Therefore, offices can be filled in 11,880 different ways.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Both distances are in the scientific notation:
Earth - Sun = 9.3 * 10^7 miles
Saturn - Sun = 8.87 * 10^8 miles
8.87 * 10^8 - 9.3 * 10^7 =
= 88.7 *10^7 - 9.3 * 10^7 =
= 79.4 * 10^7 = 7.94 * 10 ^8 = 794,000,000 miles
Answer: Saturn is 7.94 * 10^8 miles farther from Sun than Earth is.
9514 1404 393
Answer:
31.243 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relationships between sides and angles in a right triangle. Using the attached figure, it is convenient to find the length of BE as an intermediate step in the solution.
Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse
sin(30°) = BE/100
BE = 100·sin(30°)
Then ...
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
tan(58°) = BE/x
x = BE/tan(58°) = 100·sin(30°)/tan(58°)
x ≈ 31.243 . . . . units

<em>Comment on the figure</em>
The intermediate problem in creating the figure was to locate point D. That was accomplished by locating point C on a line at an angle of 58° CCW from the horizontal, using point B as a center. Then D is the intersection of BC with the x-axis. BE is drawn perpendicular to the x-axis.
