Setup
45t = 40t + 60
5t = 60
t = 12

car A = 45 * 12 = 540 mi
car B = 40 * 12 = 480 mi

An observer on top of a 50-foot tall lighthouse sees a boat at a 7° angle of depression. To the nearest foot, how far is the boa

Yuri [45]

Answer:

407.22 foot is the boat from the base of the lighthouse

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the statement: An observer on top of a 50-foot tall lighthouse sees a boat at a 7° angle of depression.

Let x foot be the distance of the object(boat) from the base of the lighthouse

Angle of depression = $7^{\circ}$

$\angle CAB = \angle DCA = 7^{\circ}$ [Alternate angle]

In triangle CAB:

To find AB = x foot.

Using tangent ratio:

$\tan (\theta) = \frac{Opposite side}{Adjacent Base}$

$\tan (\angle CAB) = \frac{BC}{AB}$

Here, BC = 50 foot and $\angle CAB =7^{\circ}$

then;

$\tan (7^{\circ}) = \frac{50}{x}$

or

$x = \frac{50}{\tan 7^{\circ}}$

$x = \frac{50}{0.1227845609}$

Simplify:

AB = x = 407.217321 foot

Therefore, the boat from the base of the light house is, 407.22'

13x-11 +18x15+ 4x+1=180°

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

x = - 80/17, or x = - 4 $\frac{12}{17}$

Step-by-step explanation:

13x-11 +18×15+ 4x+1=180°

<=> (13x + 4x) + (18×15+ 1 - 11)=180°

<=> 17x + 260 =180

<=> 17x = 180 - 260

<=> 17x = - 80

<=> x = - 80/17

<=> x = - 4 $\frac{12}{17}$
