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

Find x and y <br><br> pls help
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

110 + 5x = 180

-110 -110

5x = 70

divide by 5 on both sides

x = 14

to find y add 70 + 40 + missing angle = 2y

missing angle is 70 because 70+40+70 = 180

so 2y = 110

y = 55

Factorise 14e-16<br> Please explain
rosijanka [135]

The expression 14e - 16 is an algebraic expression, and the factored expression is 2(7e - 8)

<h3>How to factor the expression 14e - 16?</h3>

The expression is given as:

14e - 16

Express both terms as a product of 2

14e - 16 = 2 * 7e - 2 * 8

Factor out 2 in the expression

14e - 16 = 2 * (7e - 8)

Remove the product sign

14e - 16 = 2(7e - 8)

Hence, the factored expression of 14e - 16 is 2(7e - 8)
