The distance from the lighthouse to the boat will be given by:
tan θ=opposite/adjacent
θ=angle of depression=23
opposite= height of the lighthouse
adjacent=distance from the boat to the bottom of the light house
hence
tan 23=210/a
thus solving for a we obtain:
a=210/tan23
hence
a=494.73 ft
V = s²h
<span>150 = s²h </span>
<span>150 = s²(3/2)s </span>
<span>(2/3)150 = s³ </span>
<span>100 = s³ </span>
<span>s = ∛100 (approx 4.642 in) </span>
Answer:
Solution (-2, 7)
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 3y = 17 (1)
5x + 6y = 32 (2)
Using elimination method
Multiply (-2) to the equation (1)
-4x - 6y = -34
Now you have 2 new equations
-4x - 6y = -34
5x + 6y = 32
----------------------------Add
x = -2
Substitute x = -2 into 2x + 3y = 17
2(-2) + 3y = 17
- 4 + 3y = 17
3y = 21
y = 7
Solution (-2, 7)
