Answer:
y = 40 x = 80
Step-by-step explanation:
520 = 3.25x + 6.5y and x+y=120
x+y=120
x = 120-y
520 = 3.25(120-y)+6.5y
520 = 390-3.25y+6.5y
520 = 390+3.25y
130=3.25y
40 = y
x = 120-y
x = 120-(40)
x = 80
here's a graph
Notice the picture below
so.... the angle of depression, is above in dashed lines.... however, the angle of depression, is identical to the angle of elevation from the water, since, both angles are "alternate interior" angles
now, using the 45-45-90 rule, then we know the swimmer is 90 feet from the lighthouse, then just use the tangent ratio to get "x"
