Answer:

137.4 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, they give us the height of the lighthouse that corresponds to 50 meters and the depression angle is 20 °, in this case we can apply the tangent trigonometric function, which relates the opposite side to the adjacent side.

tan a ° = opposite / adjacent

the horizontal that is formed would be the adjacent side, therefore if we solve we are left with:

horizontal distance = opposite / tan to °

replacing, we are left with:

hd = 50 / tan 20 °

hd = 50 / 0.3639

hd = 137.4

the horizontal distance is equal to 137.4 meters

Solve, 3y(4y−1)−2y(6y−5)=9y−8(3+y)
igomit [66]

Answer:

3y(4y-1)-2y(6y-5)=9y-8(3+y)

12y∧2-3y-12y∧2+10y=9y-24-8y

12y∧2-12y∧2-3y+10y=9y-8y-24

7y=y-24

7y-y=-24

6y=-24

y=-24/6=-4

A shipping box has the dimensions shown what is the volume of the box in cubic yards? 1-4 yard 1-4 yard 1-2 yard
andriy [413]

The required picture is attached below :

Answer:

1 /32 yard³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of box can be obtained using the relation :

V = length * width * height

Length = 1/4 yards

Width = 1/2 yards

Height = 1/4 yards

Hence,

Volume (V) = 1/4 yards * 1/2 yards * 1/4 yards

Volume (V) = (1/4 * 1/2 * 1/4)(yard³)

Volume (V) = 1 / 32 yard³

What fraction of 3 2/5 is 9 7/8
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

  395/136

Step-by-step explanation:

(9 7/8)/(3 2/5) = (79/8)/(17/5) = (79/8)(5/17) = 395/136

Since 9 7/8 is larger than 3 2/5, it is an improper fraction.
