Answer:

The distance between B and lighthouse is 3.8688 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The angle made from ship to lighthouse is 36.5 degrees

and that of point B is 73 degrees.

To Find:

Distance  Between Point B and Lighthouse

Solution:

<em>Consider a triangle LAB(Refer the attachment )</em>

And Point C is on the line AB as A i.e. ship is sailing to B

So C is at 5 km from A.

Now In triangle LAC,

Using Trigonometry Functions as ,

tan(36.5)=LC/AC

LC=tan(36.5)*AC

=0.7399*5

=3.6998 km

Now In triangle LBC,

As,

Sin(73)=LC/LB

LB=LC/(Sin(73))

=3.6998/0.9563

=3.8688 km

LB=3.8688 km

Sean is driving to visit his friend in another state.In the first hour he travels 1/5 of the total distance. In the second hour
lozanna [386]

Answer:

They live 285 miles apart

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total distance be x miles

Sean is driving to visit his friend in another state. In the first hour he travels 1/5 of the total distance. This means that he drove x/5 in the first hour. In the second hour he travels 34 miles. That means

Total distance driven in the first and second hour is

(x/5 + 34)miles

He still has 194 miles more to go.

Therefore,

The total distance is the sum of the distance travelled in the first and second hour + the remaining distance.

x = x/5 + 34 + 194

x = x/5 + 228

Cross multiplying

5x = x + 1140

4x = 1140

x = 1140/4 = 285 miles
