Using a right triangle formed by boat with base and top of lighthouse.Note: 15 minutes = 0.25 degreesLet d be distance the boat is from shore.tan(90−13.25)=d/175
d=175∗tan(76.75)=743.2
Rational 3667/1000

Plot each point on a graph , then count how many you need to go up and then over in this case it is 8 over 1 then calculate the y int so y= 8x -25
x 55
-------- = ---------
69.50 100
69.50*55= 3822.5
3822.5/100= 38.225
x=$38.22
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Use trigonometry to help</u>
- cos = adjacent side/hypotenuse
- hypotenuse = adjacent side / cos
<u>Substitute values:</u>
- Distance between the Sun and the Moon = y / cos x
