The tangent of the angle gives the ratio of the height of the lighthouse to the boat's distance
.. tan(angle of depression) = (lighthouse height)/(boat distance)
Then the distance to the boat is
.. boat distance = (lighthouse height)/tan(angle of depression)

We want to find the difference between two distances, so
.. boat travel = (lighthouse height)*(1/tan(first angle) -1/(tan(second angle))
.. = (200 ft)*(1/tan(17°31') -1/tan(46°41'))
.. ≈ 445.10 ft

Answer:

-2x-5y+8z+4.5=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let (x,y,z) be the coordinates of the point lying on the needed plane. This point is equidistant from the points (-3, 5, -4) and (-5, 0, 4), so

$d_1=\sqrt{(x-(-3))^2+(y-5)^2+(z-(-4))^2}=\sqrt{(x+3)^2+(y-5)^2+(z+4)^2}\\ \\d_2=\sqrt{(x-(-5))^2+(y-0)^2+(z-4)^2}=\sqrt{(x+5)^2+y^2+(z-4)^2}\\ \\d_1=d_2\Rightarrow \sqrt{(x+3)^2+(y-5)^2+(z+4)^2}=\sqrt{(x+5)^2+y^2+(z-4)^2}\\ \\(x+3)^2+(y-5)^2+(z+4)^2=(x+5)^2+y^2+(z-4)^2\\ \\x^2+6x+9+y^2-10y+25+z^2+8z+16=x^2+10x+25+y^2+z^2-8z+16\\ \\-4x-10y+16z+9=0\\ \\-2x-5y+8z+4.5=0$

43 ones times 3 tens = how many tens

romanna [79]

Well 43 ones times 3 tens is basically 43 times 30 which is 1,290
then divide that by ten to get how many tens and you will get 129 tens
hope this helps
