Answer: option A. 30 °.

Explanation:

1) Draw this triangle: Eyes - Ship A - height of the cliff:

The angle of the vertix where the eyes are is: 90° - depreesion angle = 90° - 60° = 30°.

2) opossite leg = horizontal distance to the ship A = x

3) adjacent leg = height of the cliff = 1500 feet

4) tan(30°) = x / 1500 feet => x = 1500 tan(30°) = 1500 √3 / 3 = 500√3

5) Draw the triangle of the eyes - ship B - hieght of the cliff

6) The unknown is the depression angle of the eyes with ship B, α

7) opposite leg = 500√3 feet + 1000√3 feet = 1500√3 feet

8) adjacent leg = height of the cliff = 1500 feet

9) tan(α) = opposite leg / adjacent leg = 1500√3 / 1500 = √3

10) α = arctan(√3) = 60°

11) Depression angle = 90° - 60° = 30° Which is the answer

The answer is C.
Here's why, nPr = n!/(n-r)!. Plug in 7 for n and 3 for r. And you get 7!/(7-3)!.
Thus, 7!/4! = (7*6*5*4*3*2*1)/(4*3*2*1), which simplifies to 7*6*5 = 210

A golfball is hit from ground level with an initial vertical velocity of 80 ft/s. Use the function h(t) = −16t2 + v0t + h0, wher
lana66690 [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

ball is hit from the ground level i.e h0=0

initial velocity=80

when the ball hits the ground it's height from the ground=0

substitute the data in the above function

0=-16t^2+80×t+0

t=0 is a solution but it is at the beginning of the projection

16t=80

t=5

Two points in the xy plane have cartesian coordinates (2.00, 24.00) m and (23.00, 3.00) m. determine (a) the distance between th
Natasha2012 [34]
Part A:

The distance between two points can be calculated through the equation,
         d = sqrt ((x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²)

Each of the point may take the 1st or the 2nd coordinates. Substituting the known values,
        d = sqrt ((23 - 2)² + (3 - 24)²)
        d = 21√2
        d = 29.7

Part B:
We get the angle between the lines generated from points and the origin. 

Angle 1: θ = tan⁻(3/23) = 7.43°
Angle 2: θ = tan⁻(24/2) = 85.24°

Subtracting the values,
Angle = 77.8°

Thus, the polar coordinate is (29.7, 77.8°).
