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.

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"

Raj gets a 1.5 mile head start and runs at a rate of 4.5 miles per hour. Jacinda's progress is represented by a graph that goes
Alexxandr [17]
From the given ordered pair representing Jacinda's progress, her speed is equal to 10 miles per hour. Letting x be the time it takes for Jacinda to catch up with Raj, the total distance Raj would travel is 
                            1.5 + 4.5x
and Jacinda's total distance is 10x. Mathematically,
                                1.5 + 4.5x = 10x 
The value of x from the equation is 0.27 hours. Therefore, Jacinda needs to run 2.7 miles to catch up with Raj.

What is the slope of the line through (3,2) and (-3,4)?
NISA [10]

Answer:

slope = - \frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, 2 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 3, 4 )

m = \frac{4-2}{-3-3} = \frac{2}{-6} = - \frac{1}{3}

Can someone help me solve for x on number 18 and explain how you did it thank you ;)
torisob [31]

Answer:

x = 19°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that < (6x + 1)° + < (3x + 8)° are supplementary angles whose sum = 180°

6x + 1 + 3x + 8 = 180°

Add common terms:

9x + 9 = 180°

Subtract 9 from both sides:

9x + 9 - 9 = 180° - 9

9x = 171°

Divide both sides by 9 to solve for x:

\frac{9x}{9} = \frac{171}{9}

x = 19°
