Answer: the distance of the boat from the foot of the lighthouse is 290.5 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
The right angle triangle ABC representing the scenario is shown in the attached photo.
Angle A is alternate to the angle of depression, hence, they are the same.
The height of the lighthouse represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle. The distance, x of the boat from the foot of the lighthouse represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.
To determine x, we would apply
the tangent trigonometric ratio.
Tan θ, = opposite side/adjacent side. Therefore,
Tan 11.1 = 57/x
x = 57/Tan 11.1 = 57/0.1962
x = 290.5 feet to the nearest tenth.
To make the equation easier so that you don't have to use fractions.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
PEMDAS
anything done in the parentheses comes first
so you have to add first then multiply
this is not the distributive property unless the two numbers in parentheses are not like terms
The length of the curve
from x = 3 to x = 6 is 192 units
<h3>How to determine the length of the curve?</h3>
The curve is given as:
from x = 3 to x = 6
Start by differentiating the curve function

Evaluate

The length of the curve is calculated using:

This gives
![L =\int\limits^6_3 {\sqrt{1 + [x(9x^2 + 6)^\frac 12]^2}\ dx](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=L%20%3D%5Cint%5Climits%5E6_3%20%7B%5Csqrt%7B1%20%2B%20%5Bx%289x%5E2%20%2B%206%29%5E%5Cfrac%2012%5D%5E2%7D%5C%20dx)
Expand

This gives

Express as a perfect square

Evaluate the exponent

Differentiate

Expand
L = (6³ + 6) - (3³ + 3)
Evaluate
L = 192
Hence, the length of the curve is 192 units
