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

Copland completes in 27 swimming events this season. He wins either first place or second place in each event. Copland has 3 mor
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

First Place wins in 15 events

Second Place wins in 12 events

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

the number of events winning first place be "f"

the number of events winning second place be "s"

Total 27 swimming events, we can write:

f+s=27

First place wins is THREE MORE than 2nd place wins, so we can write:

f=s+3

Replacing 2nd equation in 1st equation, we can solve for "s":

f+s=27\\(s+3)+s=27\\2s+3=27\\2s=24\\s=12

We know

f = s + 3

so,

f = 12 + 3

f = 15

Thus,

<u>First Place wins in 15 events</u>

<u>Second Place wins in 12 events</u>
