Answer:
445.10 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The relation between angle of depression and distance to the boat is ...
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
tan(angle of depression) = (200 ft)/(distance to boat)
Then the distance to the boat is ...
distance to boat = (200 ft)/tan(angle of depression)
__
We want the change in distance between the two angles, so ...
change in distance = (200 ft)/tan(17°31') -(200 ft)/tan(46°41')
= (200 ft)(cot(17°31') -cot(46°41'))
change in distance ≈ 445.10 ft
Answer:
5 7/10
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need to round the number.
5.7
Now that we've rounded the number we can convert it to a fraction based on where the decimal is located.
5.7
|
v
Tenths
So, the decimal is in the tenths that means we have to put 7 over 10.
5 7/10
Hope this helps! :)
Answer: 13
Althoug each round trip takes 9 minutes and can carry 5 people on the boat, you can not just divide the 20 minutes time by 9 and multiply by 5 to find the number of people that are saved without getting wet.
First trip:
5 people take the boat to the island but only 4 can stay, because one has to return with the boat to the ship to rescue other 4 people.
So, when 9 minutes have passed, 4 people are safe on the island and the boat is again by the ship.
Second trip:
In the second trip, other 4 people are rescued,along with "sailor" who returned in the boat to rescue them.
When it has passed 18 minutes, the boat is next to the ship agin to carry other 4 people before the boat sinks.
This is the last trip before the boat sinks. So, the total number of passengers rescued is 4 + 4 + 5 = 13
