A lighthouse is 15m above sea level.

1 answer:

8 0

For this you will use the tangent function. You have the adjacent side and have to find the opposite side.

tan x = opposite/adjacent
tan 25 = x/15
15 (tan 25) = x
6.9946 = x

So the boat is approximately 6.9946 m away from the lighthouse.

(4,-3),m=-1 in standard form

Kryger [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

m = -1 ; ( 4 , -3)

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-3) = -1(x - 4)

y+ 3 = -x + 4

Add x to both side.

x +y + 3 = 0

Subtract 4 from both sides

x + y + 3 - 4 = 0

x +y - 1 = 0

The scale factor of a model of a swimming pool to the actual swimming pool is 1 to 20. The

denis23 [38]

Answer:

$0.05\ m^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube

Let

z ----> the scale factor

x ---> the volume of the model of a swimming pool

y ---> the volume of the actual swimming pool

$z^3=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$z=\frac{1}{20}$

$y=400/ m^3$

substitute

$(\frac{1}{20})^3=\frac{x}{400}$

solve for x

$\frac{1}{8,000}=\frac{x}{400}$

$x=\frac{400}{8,000}$

$x=0.05\ m^3$
