This would be 12 - 12*cos(30) = 12 - 6
= 1.608 ft off the ground.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
on the edge of a cliff overlooking the Pacific ocean. You see a sailboat down in the water below you. The angle of depression to the sailboat is 28◦ . A quick tells you that the cliff you’re standing on is 150ft. How far away from the boat are you, in feet, rounded to one decimal place?(30pts)
We solve using the Trigonometric function of TANGENT
tan 28 = 150/x
Step 1: Make equation equal to Zero
3x^2 = 4x + 2
3x^2 - 4x - 2
Step 2: use equation
a= 3 b = -4 c= -2
after plugging in answer should be
(2 + or - sqrt 10) / 3
Assuming you don't know the exact numbers, we can sequentially figure out the number of inches in a mile and seconds in a day
Inches in a mile:
There are 5280 feet in a mile.
5280*12 = 63360 inches in a mile
Seconds in a day:
There are 24 hours in a day
There are 24*60 = 1440 minutes in a day
There are 1440*60 = 86400 seconds in a day
There are more seconds in a day than inches in a mile.
