Answer:

Distance between boat and cliff (Base) = 97 m (Approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Angle of depression = 40°

Height of cliff = 80 m

Height of man's eye's from cliff = 1.5 m

Find:

Distance between boat and cliff (Base) :

Computation:

Total height (Height) = 80 m + 1.5 m = 81.5 m

Using trigonometry application:

$Tan\theta = \frac{Height}{Base} \\\\Tan \ 40 = \frac{81.5}{Base} \\\\Using\ calculator\ to\ find\ the\ value\ of\ Tan 40\\\\Tan 40 = 0.839\\\\0.839=\frac{81.5}{Base}\\\\Base = 97.139$

Distance between boat and cliff (Base) = 97 m (Approx)

1.Simplify 5 to the 5th over 5 to the 8th.

Q1. The answer is 1 over 5 to the 3rd power.

5 to the 5th is 5⁵
5 to the 8th is 5⁸
5 to the 5th over 5 to the 8th is $\frac{ 5^{5} }{ 5^{8} }$
To simplify, we will use two rules:
$\frac{ x^{a}}{ x^{b} } = x^{a-b} \\ x^{-a} = \frac{1}{ x^{a}}$
Therefore:
$\frac{ 5^{5} }{ 5^{8} } = 5^{5-8} =5^{-3}= \frac{1}{5^{3}}$
$\frac{1}{5^{3}}$ is the same as 1 over 5 to the 3rd power.

Q2. The answer is (53)−4.

The exponents are multiplied when are expressed in the form:
 $(x^{a}) ^{b}= x^{a*b}$
So, $(5^{3} )^{-4}=5^{3*(-4)}=5^{-12}$

Other choices are incorrect:
one third to the 4th times one third to the 7th is $( \frac{1}{3} )^{4} *( \frac{1}{3} )^{7}=( \frac{1}{3} )^{4+7}$
3 to the 7th over 3 to the 15th is $\frac{ 3^{7} }{3^{15}} =3^{7-15}$
45 ⋅ 42 is $4^{5}* 4^{2} = 4^{5+2}$
