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.

Serhud [2]

Answer: The

Step-by-step explanation: First we look at our right angles of the shape, Next you analyze your formula and use it to form your answer(formula: Base X Height).Then for the final step you would multiply 9x5=45.We wouldn't be doing all of them because that would be doing Total Area.

Paul [167]

Answer:

113.7-2.154\frac{9.1}{\sqrt{29}}=110.06    

113.7+2.154\frac{9.1}{\sqrt{29}}=117.34    

And the 96% confidence is given by (110.06; 117.34)

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

\bar X=113.7 represent the sample mean

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

s=9.1 represent the sample standard deviation

n=29 represent the sample size  

Confidence interval

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df=n-1=29-1=28

The Confidence is 0.96 or 96%, the significance is \alpha=0.04 and \alpha/2 =0.02, and the critical value would be t_{\alpha/2}=2.154

Replacing the info we got:

113.7-2.154\frac{9.1}{\sqrt{29}}=110.06    

113.7+2.154\frac{9.1}{\sqrt{29}}=117.34    

And the 96% confidence is given by (110.06; 117.34)

Find the missing angles using either the triangle sum theorem (a2+b2=c2) or inverse trigonometric ratios
insens350 [35]

using trigonometry:-

cos of angle ? = 7/16

so ? = arccos 7/16 = 64.06 degrees


The other angle is 90 - 64.06 = 25.94 degrees
