Answer:

  29.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

In a right triangle representing the geometry of the problem, the side opposite the angle is the height of your observation (400 ft). The side adjacent to the angle is the distance from shore (700 ft).

You know the tangent ratio is ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

so your angle of depression satisfies ...

  tan(angle of depression) = (400 ft)/(700 ft)

Using the inverse function, we find ...

  angle of depression = arctan(4/7) ≈ 29.745°

The angle of depression is about 29.7°.

the congruent sides of an isosceles triangle are each 1 unit longer than the length of the shortest side of the triangle. the pe
igor_vitrenko [27]
Let x units be the length of the shortest side of the triangle.
Perimeter of triangle = 2(x + 1) +x = 3x + 2
Perimeter of square = 4(x - 2) = 4x - 8
Equating the two expressions for perimeters, we get:
3x + 2 = 4x - 8
The solution is: x = 10

The answer is 10 units.

Rounded to the nearest tenth

That's your answer because if the number is 5 or larger, you round up. Because 6 is larger than 5, it rounds up to zero and then the 3 becomes a 4.
