The sine function is an odd function, so the sine of -30° is the opposite of the sine of 30°.

sin(30°) = 1/2

sin(-30°) = -1/2

The sine of 30° is greater than the sine of -30°.

From the top of a lighthouse 280 feet tall, to keep her spot a ship in distress at an angle of depression of 18°. How far is the

solong [7]

Given:

Height of the lighthouse = 280 feet

The angle of depression from the top of the lighthouse to a ship = 18°.

To find:

The distance between boat and shore.

Solution:

Draw a diagram by using the given information.

In a right angle triangle,

$\tan \theta=\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}$

In triangle ABC,

$\tan C=\dfrac{AB}{BC}$

$\tan 18^\circ=\dfrac{280}{BC}$

$BC=\dfrac{280}{\tan 18^\circ}$

Using a calculator, we get

$BC=\dfrac{280}{0.3249}$

$BC=861.80363...$

$BC\approx 862$

Therefore, the boat is 862 feet away from shore.

A square scarf has a side length of 3/4 yard on each side.

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

$\frac{9}{16}\ yd.^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a square: $a^2$ = $a*a$

$A = a^2\\\\A = \frac{3}{4}* \frac{3}{4}\\\\A = \frac{9}{16}$

Therefore, the answer of the scarf is $\frac{9}{16}\ yd.^2$

Hope this helps!
