Answer:

19.1 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The situation given represents a right triangle.

Thus, we would use trigonometric function to find how far north the boat travelled.

Let's represent how far the boat travelled north with "x".

Thus:

Reference angle = 23°

Opposite = x

Adjacent = 45 miles

Apply TOA:

Tan 23° = Opp/Adj

Tan 23° = x/45

Multiply both sides by 45

45 × Tan 23° = x

x = 45 × Tan 23°

x = 19.1013667

x = 19.1 miles (nearest tenth of a mile)

write a function to model the volume of a rectangular prism if the length is 10cm and the sum of the width and height is 18cm.

Musya8 [376]

Let the length be l, width w and height h, then
Volume = length x width x height
l = 10cm, w + h = 18cm

V(h) = 10(18 - h)h = 180h - h^2
V(h) = 180h - h^2
