Answer:

Correct answer:  Db = 411 .18 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

α = 27°  angle of depression

Dt = 462 ft  distance from the top of lighthouse to the boat

Db = ?   distance from the base of the lighthouse to the boat

Here we have a right triangle with hypotenuse Dt and one leg Db.

By definition

cos α = Db / Dt  ⇒ Db = Dt · cos α

Db = 462 · cos 27° = 462 · 0.89 = 411 .18 ft

Db = 411 .18 ft

God is with you!!!

Evaluate: 36^(-3/2)
Sveta_85 [38]
Evaluating 36^(-3/2) utilizes the laws of exponents. Raising a number by a negative exponent is raising the reciprocal of the number by the exponent: 36^(-3/2) = (1/36)^(3/2).


We could separate 3/2 into 3/2 = 1/2 * 3, and further simplify the expression

= ((1/36)^(1/2))^3= (1/6)^3= 1/216
