The correct answer to your question is:
D. The volume of the cylinder is 8 times the volume of the smaller cylinder.
Answer:
I agree that this question can be confusing:
Apparently point A and point B must be on the same straight line (measured from the light house or the question would be nonsensical)
tan 13 = H / DA where H is height of lighthouse
tan 8 = H / DB tangent measured from point B
tan 13 / tan 8 = DB / DA
DB = .2309 / .1405 * 1279 = 2101 ft
DB - DA = 2101 - 1279 = 822.0 ft
6 goes into
38 6 times (6 * 6 = 36). We can bring out a whole number of 6 into our mixed number. Now, we have 2/6 left over. That can be reduced to 1/3. Your mixed number is
9/5
If you choose two points you can find the equation change in y/change in x (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). Using the first two points this looks like:
(49-22)/(25-10)=27/15=9/5
