Answer:

The numerator must be greater than 16

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that a certain fraction is greater than 2. Thus, if the numerator and denominator are x and y respectively, then we have;

x/y > 2

We are further told that the denominator is 8.

Thus;

x/8 > 2

Multiply both sides by 8 to give;

x > 16

Thus,the numerator must be greater than 16.

HELP PLS! A boat is heading towards a lighthouse, whose beacon-light is 102 feet above the water. From point AA, the boat’s crew

KatRina [158]

Answer:

Distance from point AA to point BB = 189.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance from point AA to the base of the lighthouse be represented by x, and the distance from point BB to the base of the lighthouse be represented by y. So that;

distance from point AA to point BB = x - y

To determine the value of x, applying the required trigonometric function;

Tan θ = $\frac{opposite}{sdjacent}$

Tan 13 = $\frac{102}{x}$

x = $\frac{102}{Tan 13}$

= 441.81 feet

x = 441.8 feet

To determine the value of y;

Tan 22 = $\frac{102}{y}$

y = $\frac{102}{Tan 22}$

= 252.46

y = 252.5 feet

Thus,

distance from point AA to point BB = 441.8 - 252.5

= 189.3 feet
