Answer:

21.276 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

For the two angle of depressions one at the top of mast and other at the base will provide two distinct equation is terms of distance between the ship and lighthouse.

Let the distance between the ship and lighthouse be represented by X

y be the vertical distance above height of ship i.e 9 meters.

Equation 1

tan 45 = \frac{Y + 9}{X}

or

Y = X tan 45 - 9

Second equation

tan 30 = \frac{Y}{X} \\

Or

Y = X tan 30

Equating both the equation 1 and 2 we get -

X tan 30 = X tan 45 - 9\\X tan45 - X tan 30 = 9\\X * 1 - X * 0.577 = 9\\0.423 X = 9\\X = 21.276

Solve 1/p+1/s=1 for p
jekas [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply through by the L. C. M which is PS.

1/p*ps+1/s*ps=1*ps

P+p=ps

2p=ps

Divide both sides by 2

2p/2=ps/2

P=ps/2

2. For the following, is the stated conclusion reasonable? Why or why not?
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

Definetely, it is reasonable. You may assume that a pet as a companionship will help the elderly feel more comfortable and therefore, happy. There are a few problems tough:

  • There is no practical way of meassuring 'happiness'.
  • Sometimes, the correlations of two factors may be a coincidence. Scientist should always consider this when they try to claim something byusing some backup logic, like we did.
  • Even tough the statement makes some sense, you need to be aware that maybe is not completly positively correlated. Maybe having 20 more pets does not make an elderly happy if it alredy had 1 or 2.

Choose the equation of the horizontal line that passes through the part point (1,-5)
vladimir2022 [97]
We know is a horizontal line, so, if it passes through 1,-5, it also passes through "whatever", -5, like 20, -5 or 1000000, -5, or -100000000, -5 and so on.

so, let's pick another point say -7, -5, check the picture below, and let's check about the equation that runs through it,

\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
%  (a,b)
&&(~ 1 &,& -5~) 
%  (c,d)
&&(~ -7 &,& -5~)
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope  = m
slope =  m\implies 
\cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{-5-(-5)}{-7-1}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{-5+5}{-7-1}\implies \cfrac{0}{-8}\implies 0
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-(-5)=0(x-1)
\\\\\\
y+5=0\implies y=-5
