Answer:

Distance between two ships = 73 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Note:

tangent = opposite / hypotenuse

Referring to diagram,

Distance of ship A from tower = 100 tan(90-45) = 100 units

Distance of ship B from tower = 100 tan(90-75) = 100 tan (27) = 27 units

Distance between two ships = 100-27 = 73 units

A square had a perimeter of 28 ft. What is its area?
Usimov [2.4K]
You will find the side by 28 ÷ 4 = 7 ft because a square has 4 equal sides.
Then we will do side × side to find the area of a square, so 7 × 7 = 49 ft²
So the answer is 49ft²

❗️❗️URGENT❗️❗️<br> 24. Find slope of the line.<br> A. 3/2<br> B. -3/2<br> C. -2/3<br> D. 2/3
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Option (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of a line passing through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by,

Slope = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Form the graph attached,

Graphed line passes through two points (0, 1) and (-2, -2),

Therefore, slope of the line passing through these points will be,

Slope = \frac{1+2}{0+2} = \frac{3}{2}

Option (A) will be the answer.
