Answer: the distance of the boat from the foot of the lighthouse is 290.5 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
The right angle triangle ABC representing the scenario is shown in the attached photo.
Angle A is alternate to the angle of depression, hence, they are the same.
The height of the lighthouse represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle. The distance, x of the boat from the foot of the lighthouse represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.
To determine x, we would apply
the tangent trigonometric ratio.
Tan θ, = opposite side/adjacent side. Therefore,
Tan 11.1 = 57/x
x = 57/Tan 11.1 = 57/0.1962
x = 290.5 feet to the nearest tenth.
Answer:
Her new position is 37 feet below the cave entrance
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us solve the question
∵ The cave entrance is the zero position
∵ Anna is in 42 feet below the cave entrance
→ Below zero means negative
∴ Anna is in -42 feet
∵ She descends 10 feet
→ Descend means negative
∴ She is in -42 + -10 = -52 feet
∵ She ascends 15 feet
→ Ascend means positive
∴ She is in -52 + 15 = -37 feet
→ -37 means she is in below the cave entrance by 37 feet
∴ Her new position is 37 feet below the cave entrance
I guess sides and angles !
