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.

What is wrong with the following proof that for every integer n, there is an integer k such that n &lt; k &lt; n + 2? Suppose n
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

c)The proof writer mentally assumed the conclusion. He wrote "suppose n is an arbitrary integer", but was really thinking "suppose n is an arbitrary integer, and suppose that for this n, there exists an integer k that satisfies n < k < n+2." Under those assumptions, it follows indeed that k must be n + 1, which justifies the word "therefore": but of course assuming the conclusion destroyed the validity of the proof.

Step-by-step explanation:

when we claim something as a hypothesis we can only conclude with therefore at the end of the proof. so assuming the conclusion nulify the proof from the beginning

You arrive at an intersection with traffic lights that are not working because of a power outage
yulyashka [42]

Traffic rules are set by each individual state.

In most states, an intersection where traffic lights are out of order
is treated as if it were a 4-way STOP.

But you can't depend on this answer.  You MUST determine what
the law is in the state where you're driving.  And if you drive out of
state, it may change for you.
