Answer: 34.64 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A boat is 60 m from the base of a lighthouse.

The angle of depression between the lighthouse and the boat is 37°.

By using trigonometric ratios :

\tan x=\dfrac{\text{Side opposite to }x}{\text{Side adjacent to }x}

here x= 37°, side opposite to x = height of lighthouse (h) , side adjacent to x = 60 m

\tan 37^{\circ}=\dfrac{h}{60}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 0.57735=\dfrac{h}{60}\\\\\Rightarrow\ h= 60\times0.57735\approx34.64

Hence, the lighthouse is 34.64 m tall.

Write each decimal as a fraction or mixed number in simplest form.<br> 1 3/8
Mnenie [13.5K]

3/2

<em>Step One:</em> 1 3/8, transform the number into a improper fraction:

  1. To have a mixed number in to a improper fraction, you need to use            addition and multiplication.  For 1 3/8, We first multiply the denominator (8, also know to be the bottom number of the fraction) to the whole number (1).  8x1= 8
  2. NOTE: The original denominator (8) will be use for are improper, again playing as the denominator, we only multiply the denominator for the numerator (which is the top number of a fraction).
  3. After multiplying, we'll add are product with the numerator (3) for the process. 8+3= 12
  4. Now we have both numerator and denominator for 1 3/8, we can create the improper fraction. 12 as the numerator and 8 as the denominator. 12/8
  5. We still need to simplify the number. To that, we need the biggest whole number, or rather I call it the lowest number, that can be divide both in 12 and 8.
  6. 4 can be divide by both number so: 12/4= 3 and 8/4=2
  7. Now 3 is are simplify numerator and 2 is are simplify denominator.
