Find the length of the hypotenuse in the right triangle, if one leg is 15 and the other leg is 8

1 answer:

8 0

The equation for finding the hypotenuse is a^2 + b^2 = c^2. In this case, a = 15 and b = 8, so 15^2 + 8^2 = 289. √289 = 17, which is your answer. I hope this helps!

Find the angle of depression from the top of a lighthouse, 260 feet above water to a ship that's 270 feet offshore?

expeople1 [14]

Answer: OPTION C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Observe the triangle ABC attached.

Notice that the angle of depression is represented with $\alpha$ .

Knowing that the top of a lighthouse is 260 feet above water and the ship is 270 feet offshore, you can find the value of $\alpha$ by using arctangent:

$\alpha= arctan(\frac{opposite}{adjacent})$

In this case you can identify that:

$opposite=260\\adjacent=270$

Therefore, substuting values into $\alpha= arctan(\frac{opposite}{adjacent})$ , you get that the angle of depression is:

$\alpha= arctan(\frac{260}{270})\\\\\alpha=43.92\°$
