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

What is the value of x? 36 Degrees, Tangent lines, Acellus, Geometry
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

x=54

Step-by-step explanation:

since the line opposite of x is tangent to the circle, the angle made but the point is 90 degrees, so then you add 90 and 36 and subtract that by 180 to get the other angle.

If x=3m-4 and y=6-m, which of the following expresses y in terms of x
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

What you want to do is solve for m in whichever equation it's easier to so in, then substitute that in to the other equation. For instance:

X=3m-4

Y=6-m

Solve the 2nd equation to get m=6-y

Plug that into the first equation to get x=3(6-y)-4

X=18-3y-4

X-14=-3y

14-x=3y

Y=(14-x)/3

Answer:

12 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We must find the area of each shape and add together. The area of a triangle is 1/2 base times height. The smaller triangles area is 2 and the larger triangle's area is 6. The area of the square is 4... so when all added together, we have 12.
