Answer:

Distance between Archimedes and the rock = 7.51 m ≅

Step-by-step explanation:

The sunlight makes an angle of depression of 43 degrees

Hence angle between the rock and the sunlight rays is = 90-43=47 degrees

Distance between Archimedes and the rock = Tan 47 = X/7

X = 7 tan 47 = 7.506580970172 = 7.51m ≅

If x varies directly as y, find x when y=8. x=11 when y=-3
andriy [413]

Answer:

x=-\frac{88}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

When a quantity "A" varies DIRECTLY with another quantity "B", we can write the proportionality equation as:

A = kB

Where k is the proportionality constant (to be found)

In this problem, it is given x varies DIRECTLY with y, so we can write:

x = ky

Also, given, x = 11, y = -3, so we plug these into the equation and first find k:

x = ky

11 = k(-3)

k = -11/3

Now, we need to find x when y = 8, so we substitute and find x:

x=ky\\x=(-\frac{11}{3})(8)\\x=-\frac{88}{3}
