Answer: the distance of the boat from the base of the lighthouse is 192.9 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The scenario is represented in the right angle triangle shown in the attached photo.

Looking at triangle ABC, the height of the light house operator above sea level represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

Angle A = 10° because it is alternate to the angle of depression.

To determine AB, the distance of the boat from the base of the lighthouse, we would apply

the tangent trigonometric ratio which is expressed as

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

Tan 10 = 34/AB

AB = 34/Tan 10 = 34/0.1763

AB = 192.9 m

Answer:

y = 54°

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of the inscribed angle y is one half the measure of its intercepted arc, that is

y = 0.5 × 108° = 54°

Select the expression that has a sum of 75/100
umka21 [38]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

70/100 + 4/10 is equivalent to 70/100 + 40/100 which equals 110/100.

68/100 + 6/10 is equivalent to 68/100 + 60/100 which equals 128/100.

6/10 + 12/100 is equivalent to 60/100 + 12/100 which equals 72/100.

4/10 + 34/100 is equivalent to 40/100 + 34/100 which equals 74/100.

None of them equal 75/100, however if you were looking for 74/100 or 72/100, check above.

Help me please solves this my math teacher will yell at me if I don’t get this done!!!
VARVARA [1.3K]
The answer is 75

First you subtract 180 and 165 to find that smallest angle inside the triangle(15). Then you add 15 and 90,the two angles you know, and do 180 - 105= 75.

The trick is that all angles inside a triangle equal 180 degrees. Hope this helps!
