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

Step-by-step explanation:

20/50 = 40%
So 40% are wearing hats and 60% aren't

Given: △ABC, m∠A=60° m∠C=45°, AB=8 Find: Perimeter of △ABC, Area of △ABC

jarptica [38.1K]

We are given

△ABC, m∠A=60° m∠C=45°, AB=8

Firstly, we will find all angles and sides

Calculation of angle B:

we know that sum of all angles is 180

m∠A+ m∠B+m∠C=180

we can plug values

60°+ m∠B+45°=180

m∠B=75°

Calculation of BC:

we can use law of sines

$\frac{AB}{sin(C)}=\frac{BC}{sin(A)}$

now, we can plug values

$\frac{8}{sin(45)}=\frac{BC}{sin(60)}$

$BC=\frac{8}{sin(45)} \times sin(60)$

$BC=9.798$

Calculation of AC:

$\frac{AB}{sin(C)}=\frac{AC}{sin(B)}$

now, we can plug values

$\frac{8}{sin(45)}=\frac{AC}{sin(75)}$

$AC=\frac{8}{sin(45)} \times sin(75)$

$AC=10.928$

Perimeter:

$p=AB+BC+AC$

we can plug values

$p=10.928+8+9.798$

$p=28.726$

Area:

we can use formula

$A=\frac{1}{2}AB \times AC \times sin(A)$

now, we can plug values

$A=\frac{1}{2}8 \times 10.928 \times sin(60)$

$A=37.85570$ ...............Answer
