A sextant<span> is a </span>doubly reflecting navigation instrument<span> that measures the </span>angular distance<span> between two visible objects. The primary use of a sextant is to measure the angle between an </span>astronomical object<span> and the </span>horizon<span> for the purposes of </span>celestial navigation<span>.
The estimation of this angle, the altitude, is known as </span>sighting<span> or </span>shooting<span> the object, or </span>taking a sight<span>. The angle and the time when it was measured, can be used to calculate a </span>position line<span> on a nautical or aeronautical </span>chart. F<span>or example; sighting the </span>Sun<span> at </span>noon <span>or </span>Polaris<span> at night (in the Northern Hemisphere) to estimate </span>latitude<span>. Sighting the height of a landmark can give a measure of </span>distance off<span> and held horizontally.
A sextant can measure angles between objects for a </span>position on a chart.<span> A sextant can also be used to measure the </span>lunar distance<span> between the moon and another celestial object (such as a star or planet) in order to determine </span>Greenwich Mean Time<span> and hence </span>longitude<span>.

Hey there!
Formula for the area of a triangle is (1/2)bh.
Base of this triangle is 5, height is 4.
Image attached.
Plug values into the formula:
A = (1/2)(5)(4)
Simplify.
A = (1/2)(20)
A = 10
Area of the triangle is 10 units².
Hope this helps!
Answer:
DG = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
DG and EF are similar so sides are same.
2x - 7 = x + 5
2x - x = 5 + 7
x = 12
So DG = 2x - 7
= 2(12) - 7
= 24 - 7
= 17
You do not need to use the remainder theorem to find p(3). Just plugin 3 where the x is located in
Answer is a.
