Answer:

9/10 or 0.9

Step-by-step explanation:

As we move 50 feet horizontally, the far end of the ramp reaches 4.5 feet above ground level. Thus, the slope is m = rise / run = 4.5/50 = 9/10 or 0.9.

They are equal to one another because 4(3+x) can be rewritten using the distributive property as 4(3)+4x or 3+3+3+3+x+x+x+x

From a height of 50 meters above sea level on a cliff, two ships are sighted due west. The angles of depression are 61° and 28°.

Olenka [21]

Answer:

The ships are 66 meters apart.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the sake of convenience, let us label ships A and B

As shown in the figure, the distances to the ships from right triangles.

The distance to the ship A is $d_1$ and it is given by

$tan (61^o)= \dfrac{50}{d_1}$

$d_1=\dfrac{50}{tan (61^o)}$

$\boxed{d_1= 27.71m}$

And the distance to the ship B is $d_2$ and is given by

$tan (28^o)= \dfrac{50}{d_2}$

$d_2=\dfrac{50}{tan (28^o)}$

$\boxed{ d_2=94.04m}$

Therefore, the distance $d$ between the ships A and B is

$d= d_2-d_1=94.04-27.7\\\\\boxed{d=66m}$

In other words, the ships are 66 meters apart.
