Answer: 52.489…

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle of elevation is 58 degrees, and the opposite value is 84 feet, so you’re lookin g for adjacent. That means you’ll use tangent to solve this equation:

Tan(58)=84/x

Answer: Casey is standing 52.5 feet from the lighthouse.

Step-by-step explanation:

A right angle triangle is formed. The height of the lighthouse represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle. The distance, h from the lighthouse to where Casey is standing represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle. Casey's line of sight along the angle of elevation represents the hypotenuse.

To determine h, we would apply

the tangent trigonometric ratio.

Tan θ, = opposite side/adjacent side. Therefore,

Tan 58 = 84/h

h = 84/tan 58 = 84/1.6

h = 52.5 feet

What is the average rate of change of f(x), represented by the table of values, over the interval [-3,4]
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

Average rate of change = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

  • We know that the average rate of change is basically a measure of the slope of the  secant line  in the closed interval [a, b].

here   a = -3 and b = 4

  • f(b) = f(4) = 27
  • f(a) = f(-3) = 6

⇒ Average rate of change = f(b) - f(a)  / b - a

                                            = (27 - 6) / (4 - (-3))

                                            = 21 / 7

                                            = 3

Therefore, Average rate of change = 3

What is the circumference of a circle<br> with radius 64 inches? Write your answer<br> using PI.
yarga [219]

Answer:

C≈402.12in

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle is equal to pi times the diameter. The diameter is two times the radius, so the equation for the circumference of a circle using the radius is two times pi times the radius

Which is greater: inches in a mile or seconds in a day? Show how you know.​
MrMuchimi

Assuming you don't know the exact numbers, we can sequentially figure out the number of inches in a mile and seconds in a day

Inches in a mile:

There are 5280 feet in a mile.

5280*12 = 63360 inches in a mile

Seconds in a day:

There are 24 hours in a day

There are 24*60 = 1440 minutes in a day

There are 1440*60 = 86400 seconds in a day

There are more seconds in a day than inches in a mile.
