The height of the  lighthouse is 44 feet.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

You are given more information than you need.

Use the right triangle concept,

A yacht is anchored 90 feet offshore from the base of a lighthouse.

  • Base = 90 feet
  • Height = h feet

The angle of elevation from the boat to the top of  the lighthouse is 26 degrees.

<u>Using one side length and the angle only: </u>

The trigonometric formula is given as,

tan = height / base

tan[26º] = h ⁄ 90

 h = 90 × tan[26º]

h = 43.9 ft

h = 44 feet

Therefore, the height of the  lighthouse is 44 feet.

Vanyuwa [196]

Given

Grant and Pedro are comparing their stocks for the week

On Monday, their results were opposite.

for Monday if Grant lost $4

Explain how you would graph their results for Monday.

To proof

let us assume that value of stocks after a week = x

As given in question

for Monday if Grant lost $4

i.e x= - $4

result were opposite for grant and pedro.

thus

for Monday if Pedro gain $4

i.e x = $4

Therefore two values are

x = -4  and x = 4 is shown in graph given below.

This shows that x = -4 lies left of 0 to x-axis and x = 4 lies right of  0 to x- axis.
