Answer:

Distance between boat and light house = 134 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Height of light house = 46 m

Angle of elevation from boat to the top of light house = 19°

From the data given to us we can construct a right triangle ABC.

For the Δ ABC

AB= 46 m

∠C= 19°

We can apply trigonometric ratio to find side BC which is the distance of light house from the boat.

$\tan19\°=\frac{AB}{BC}$

Multiplying both sides by BC.

$BC\tan19\°=\frac{AB}{BC}\times BC$

$BC\tan19\°=AB$

Dividing both sides by tan 19°

$\frac{BC\tan19\°}{tan 19\°}=\frac{AB}{tan 19\°}$

$BC=\frac{AB}{tan 19\°}$

Substituting value of AB and tan 19°

$BC=\frac{46}{0.344}$

$BC=133.59\ m\approx134\ m$

Distance between boat and light house = 134 m

Rita drove 792 miles in 11 hours.

Talja [164]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's write an expression.

Let's say m is miles and h is hours.

$792m = 11h$

Simplify.

11 ÷ 11 = 1

792 ÷ 11 = 72

Let's rewrite our expression.

$72m = 1h$

Using this formula, you can solve anything! :)

(50 points) DOE contains points d(2 3) o(0 0) and e(5 1) which of the following angles are both adjacent and supplementary to DO

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

When you join points D(2,3),O(0,0)and E(5,1) which are not collinear it will form a triangle.

Now , Adjacent of ∠ DOE are [ ∠ ODE and ∠OED] .

As we know that Sum of three interior angles of a triangle is 180°.

∠ DOE + ∠OED+∠EDO = 180°

∠DOE=180°- (∠OED+∠EDO)

Supplementary ,of ∠DOE is (∠OED+∠EDO).

a square has a perimeter of 48cm.the square is cut in half . the two halves are put together to make this shape . what is the pe

Naily [24]

Answer:

The length of each side is 12cm.

Explanation:

The perimeter of a square is calculated by the formula:

P=4a, where P=perimeter, and a=length of any side, all sides being equal in a square.

From the given data we write:

48=4a

Divide both sides by 4.

12=a

The length of each side is 12cm.

Find the measure of the missing angles.<br> 83°C<br> b

harina [27]

Answer:

$m\angle b=97^{\circ},\\m\angle c= 97^{\circ}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical angles are angles on opposites sides of an intersection of two lines. Therefore, $\angle c$ and $\angle b$ are vertical angles. Similarly, the angle opposite to the angle marked 83 degrees is also equal to 83 degrees. Vertical angles are always equal.

Since there are 360 degrees in a circle, we have the following equation:

$\angle c+\angle b+83+83=360,\\2\angle c+166=360,\\2\angle c=194,\\\angle c=\frac{194}{2}=\boxed{97^{\circ}}$

Since $\angle c$ and $\angle b$ are vertical angles and vertical angles are also equal, the measure of angle $b$ is also $\boxed{97^{\circ}}$
