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"

F=32+1.8c. This is in slope intercept form, so 32 is the Y intercept, and the slope is 1.8(9/5).

What is the measure of the third angle?
SCORPION-xisa [38]
The total amount of degrees in a triangle is 180. All three angles should add up to 180˚

We know that 40+60 = 100

The next step is to do 180-100 to get the other angle.
180-100 = 80

So the measure of the third angle is 80˚

Hope this helps!

(Also if you want to do this in one equation, you would do 40+60+x = 180
40+60+x = 180
100+x = 180 (combine like terms)
x = 80 (Subtract 100 from both sides)

A serving size for pineapple-orange punch is 1/2 cup. Liam needs to make 72 servings of punch. He will use 8 pints of pineapple
Luden [163]
Since a serving is 1/2 cup and he needs 72 servings you can multiply 72 by 1/2 and find out that he needs to make 36 cups of punch. Two cups is a pint so he needs (36 / 2) 18 pints of juice. He already has the 8 pints of pineapple juice so 18 - 8 leaves 10 pints of orange juice.

Can someone explain to me why you flip the reciprial
puteri [66]

Answer:

By flipping the second fraction (finding its reciprocal) we change the equation mathematically. In order to maintain the equation mathematically, we must turn the division question into a multiplication question.
