Answer:

  1353 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The cliff height and the distance from its base to the boat form the legs of a right triangle. The cliff height is the leg opposite the elevation angle, and the distance to the boat is the leg adjacent. Given these two legs of the triangle, the tangent relation seems useful:

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

We want to find the cliff height (opposite), so we can multiply this equation by Adjacent:

  Opposite = Adjacent×Tan

  cliff height = (2994 ft)(tan(24°19')) ≈ 1353 ft

The cliff is about 1353 feet high.

stiv31 [10]
The surface area (SA) of a cube can be written as:

SA = 6s²

From here we can write, the length of the side s as:

s= \sqrt{ \frac{SA}{6} }

For cube with surface area of 1200 square inches, the side length will be:

s= \sqrt{ \frac{1200}{6} }=10 \sqrt{2} inches

For cube with surface area 768 square inches, the side length will be:

s= \sqrt{ \frac{768}{6} }=8 \sqrt{2} inches

The difference in side lengths of two cubes will be:

10 \sqrt{2} -8 \sqrt{2}=2 \sqrt{2}

Rounding to nearest tenth of an integer, the difference between the side lengths of two cubes will be 2.8 inches.

A group of 31 friends gets together to play a sport. First, people
Umnica [9.8K]

The number of teams she can make is 10.

<h3>How many teams can she make?</h3>

Division is the process of putting a number into equal groups using another number. The sign used to denote division is ÷. Division is one of the basic mathematical operations. Other basic mathematical operations include addition, subtraction, multiplication.

The number of teams that can be made can be determined by dividing the total number of friends by the total number of players in each team. The whole number that is derived from the division process is the number of teams teams that can be made given the total number of friends and the number of people that have to be in each group.

Number of teams she can make = total number of friends / number of people in each group

31 / 3 = 10 remainder 1

So, only 10 teams can be made. one person would not be on any team.

If 2tanA=3tanB,then prove that tan(A-B)=sin2B/(5-cos2B) ...?
andreev551 [17]
Tan ( A - B ) = ( tan A - tan B ) / ( 1 + tan A tan B )
tan A = 3 tan B/2
tan ( A - B ) = ((3 tan B/ 2)-tan B) / ( 1 + 3 tan² B/2)=
= (tan B/2)  / ( 2 + 3 sin²B/cos²B )=
= (sin B / cos B) / (( 2cos² B+3sin²B)/cos²B)=
=( sin B cos B ) / ( 2 cos²B + 3 ( 1 - cos² B ) ) =
= (sin B cos B ) / ( 2 cos² B + 3 - 3 cos² B ) =
= ( sin 2 B ) / 2 ( 3 - cos² B ) =
= ( sin 2 B ) / ( 6 - cos² B )=
= ( sin 2 B ) / ( 5 + 1 - 2 cos² B )=
= ( sin 2 B ) / ( 5 + sin² B + cos ² B - 2 cos² B ) =
= ( sin 2 B ) / ( 5 - ( cos² B - sin² B ) ) =
= ( sin 2 B ) / ( 5 - cos 2 B )  - correct
