Find the missing side. Round to the nearest tenth. For all 4 pics

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

1st pic) 17.8

2nd pic) 16.8

3rd pic) 9.1

4th pic) 13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1st pic: $cos = \frac{adjacent}{hypothenuse}$

(write equation) Cos 27 (cos 27 = 0.89) = $\frac{x}{20}$

(new equation) 0. 89 = $\frac{x}{20}$

(multiply 20 on both sides) 0.89 x 20 = $\frac{x}{20}$ x 20

(solve) 17.8 = x

2nd pic: $tan = \frac{adjacentx}{hypothenuse}$

(write equation) tan 40 (tan 40 = 0.84) = $\frac{32}{x}$

(new equation) 0.84 = $\frac{32}{x}$

(multiply 32 on both sides) 0.84 x 20 = $\frac{32}{x}$ x 20

(solve) 16.8 = x

3rd pic: $cos = \frac{adjacent}{hypothenuse}$

(write equation) cos 55 (cos 55 = 0.57) = $\frac{16}{x}$

(new equation) 0.57 = $\frac{16}{x}$

(multiply 16 on both sides) 0.57 x 16 = $\frac{16}{x}$ x 16

(solve) 9.1 = x

4th pic: $tan = \frac{adjacentx}{hypothenuse}$

(write eqaution) tan 42 (tan 42 = 0.90) = $\frac{x}{15}$

(new equation) 0.90 = $\frac{x}{15}$

(multiply 15 on both sides) 0.90 x 15 = $\frac{x}{15}$ x 15

(solve) 13.5 = x

A man standing on a lighthouse at a height of 124 feet sights two boats directly in front of him. One is at an angle of depressi

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

$125\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

step 1

In the right triangle ABC find the length side BC

we know that

$tan(62\°)=\frac{124}{BC}$

$BC=\frac{124}{tan(62\°)}$

step 2

In the right triangle ABD find the length side BD

we know that

$tan(33\°)=\frac{124}{BD}$

$BD=\frac{124}{tan(33\°)}$

step 3

we know that

The distance between the two boats is the length side CD

$CD=BD-BC$

substitute the values

$CD=\frac{124}{tan(33\°)}-\frac{124}{tan(62\°)}=125\ ft$
