A lighthouse is 90 feet above sea level. The angle of depression from the top of the lighthouse to the center of the rock is 35
degrees, and the angle of depression to the swimmer is 45 degrees. Find the distance between the center of the rock and the swimmer.
1 answer:
Notice the picture below
so.... the angle of depression, is above in dashed lines.... however, the angle of depression, is identical to the angle of elevation from the water, since, both angles are "alternate interior" angles
now, using the 45-45-90 rule, then we know the swimmer is 90 feet from the lighthouse, then just use the tangent ratio to get "x"

Answer:
(a) 0.0001 or 0.01%
(b) 0.01 or 1%
Step-by-step explanation:
Since there are 10 possible numeric digits (from 0 to 9), and there is only one correct digit, there is a 1 in 10 change of getting each digit right.
The probability that if you forget your PIN, then you can guess the correct sequence
(a) at random:
(b) when you recall the first two digits.
