The height of the lighthouse is 44 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

Using one side length and the angle only:

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.

What is the factored form of the expression 9x^2+24x+16?

igor_vitrenko [27]

This is the product of the square of a binomial expression. Therefore, it will have two factors.

Square of a binomial: a² + 2ab + b² = (a+b)²

The process:

9x² + 24x + 16

= (3x)² +2(3x)(4) + (4)²

= (3x + 4)² or (3x+4)(3x+4)

I hope this helps :)
