The distance between the points A to B is 899.9 feet. After rounding off the nearest integer we get 900 feet as the final answer.
Given we know that CD is perpendicular to AD.
The distance between CD is 139 feet.
As from points A the boat's crew measure the angle of elevation to the beacon as 6°
therefore, m∠A = 6°
Another time the angle of elevation is measured from point B which is 19°.
therefore, m∠DBC = 19°
tan 19° = CD/BD
BD = CD/tan19°
BD = 136/tan 19°
now for tan 6° = CD/AD (tangent is opposite over adjacent)
AD = CD/tan 6°
AD = 136/tan 6°
AB = AD ₋ BD
AB = 136/tan 6° ₋ 136/tan 19°
AB = 1295.2 ₋ 395.3
AB = 900 feet
hence the distance from point A to B is 900 feet.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
It's 5/7
You get that by having a calculator that does that. If you don't then the way to do it is multiply the numerator and denominator by 1.25
4 * 1.25 = 5
5.6 * 1.25 = 7
Is there choices ? I got 0.216
Answer:
1.26 corect answer
Step-by-step explanation:
the surface area of a sphere is 4*pi*r^2
so r is sqrt(20/pi) which is sqrt(1.59) = 1.26
