Answer:

The height of the lighthouse is 742.5\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

h -----> the height of the lighthouse

we know that

The tangent of angle of 68 degrees is equal to divide the height of the lighthouse by the horizontal distance from the buoy to the base of lighthouse

so

tan(68\°)=\frac{h}{300}

Solve for h

h=(300)tan(68\°)=742.5\ ft

After 3/4 of a minute a sloth has moved just 3/8 of a foot. what is the sloth's speed in feet per minute
Delicious77 [7]
Hello! 

So 4/4 - 3/4 = 1/4 (a quarter). So we have to find a quarter of 3/8 and add it to 3/8. First of all, we have to convert 1/4 to a percentage. The answer is 25%. 3/8 as a decimal is 0.375. 25% of 0.375 = (0.25 x 0.375 =) 0.09375. 
0.09375 + 0.375 = 0.46875. 
Now, we have to convert 0.46875 back into a fraction. 

So the answer is 5/64.

Have a great day! :)

What is an explicit equation?
artcher [175]
An explicit equation is an equation used to find a term in a sequence without using the any previous terms. For example, if I have the set of numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, my explicit equation is F(n)=2(n-1)+1. If I plug 1 in for n, I get F(1)= 2(0)+1, which is 1, my first term.

Hope this made sense.
