Answer: the height of the lighthouse is 838.8 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The right angle triangle ABC illustrating the scenario is shown in the attached photo.
The angle of depression and angle A are alternate angles, hence, they are the equal.
The height, h of the lighthouse represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle. The distance of the boat from the foot of the lighthouse represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.
To determine h, we would apply
the tangent trigonometric ratio.
Tan θ, = opposite side/adjacent side. Therefore,
Tan 62 = h/446
h = 446tan62 = 446 × 1.8807
h = 838.8 feet to the nearest tenth.
Answer:
cos ∅ = 80/89
Step-by-step explanation:
As required from the question the picture below represent a triangle UVW . The angle W = 90°. The sides WV = 39 , VU = 89 and UW = 80. The triangle forms a right angle triangle .
Such triangle one can establish trigonometric relationship using the SOHCAHTOA principle.
The question requested us to find the ratio that represent the cosine of ∠U.
The ∠U is represented as ∅ .
Therefore,
cos ∅ = adjacent/hypotenuse
adjacent = 80. The adjacent side is the non hypotenuse side that is next to the given angle.
hypotenuse = 89 . Hypotenuse is the longest side of a right angle triangle and it opposite the right angle.
cos ∅ = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos ∅ = 80/89
