A lifeguard is in a look out chair and sees a person in distress. The eye level of the lifeguard is 15 feet above the ground. Th

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Horizontal distance between lifeguard and the person is 22 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A lifeguard sees a person in distress.The eye level of the lifeguard is 15 feet above the ground. Angle of depression is 34°.

To find: Horizontal distance between lifeguard and the person.

Solution : If we draw a triangle then tan∅ = $\frac{height}{base}$

Here base is the horizontal distance.

Now we put the values in the formula.

tan 34° = $\frac{15}{base}$

Or Base = $\frac{15}{tan34}$

= $\frac{15}{0.675} = 22.22 feet$

So the answer is 22 feet.

What polynomial identity will prove that 49-4=45

Svetach [21]

49 is a square given by 7x7 as is clear in your equation, 4 is a square given by 4x4 the operator given is - ( minus) you have two squares, and a difference sign a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b) 7^2 -2^2 = (7-2)(7+2) = (5)(9) = 45 it is the diffeernce of two squares

2x 5 The area of the rectangle shown is given by the function A()- 2 -5x lfthe width of the rectangle is 13, then the area is 42

PIT_PIT [208]

If you let x = 13:
Then, Area = 2(13)^2 - 5(13)
= 338 - 65
= 273 sq ft

If you let 2x-5 = 13:
2x = 18
x = 6

Then, Area = 2(6)^2 - 5(6)
= 72 - 30
= 42 sq ft

Therefore, your options are A or C. Your answer can be chosen based on what you assume the width to be. Good luck!
