Answer:
Y-3 = 2(x+1)
open the brackets
Y-3 = 2x+2
Y = 2x+5..... this is the answer when solving for Y
if were solving for x:
Y-3 = 2x+5
Y-8 = 2x
Answer: the distance of the boat from the foot of the lighthouse is 290.5 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
The right angle triangle ABC representing the scenario is shown in the attached photo.
Angle A is alternate to the angle of depression, hence, they are the same.
The height of the lighthouse represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle. The distance, x of the boat from the foot of the lighthouse represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.
To determine x, we would apply
the tangent trigonometric ratio.
Tan θ, = opposite side/adjacent side. Therefore,
Tan 11.1 = 57/x
x = 57/Tan 11.1 = 57/0.1962
x = 290.5 feet to the nearest tenth.
