The tangent of the angle gives the ratio of the height of the lighthouse to the boat's distance
.. tan(angle of depression) = (lighthouse height)/(boat distance)
Then the distance to the boat is
.. boat distance = (lighthouse height)/tan(angle of depression)
We want to find the difference between two distances, so
.. boat travel = (lighthouse height)*(1/tan(first angle) -1/(tan(second angle))
.. = (200 ft)*(1/tan(17°31') -1/tan(46°41'))
.. ≈ 445.10 ft

Answer:
-4, -x^2, x^2, 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 5 gallons
Step-by-step explanation: the gallons are in decimal points. 1/2 + 1/2 + 2 + 1 = 5. the .05 and 1/2 are the same thing. the .5 + .5 equals 1
