The height of the lighthouse is 44 feet.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
You are given more information than you need.
Use the right triangle concept,
A yacht is anchored 90 feet offshore
from the base of a lighthouse.
- Base = 90 feet
- Height = h feet
The angle of elevation from the boat to the top of the lighthouse is 26 degrees.
<u>Using one side length and the angle only: </u>
The trigonometric formula is given as,
tan = height / base
tan[26º] = h ⁄ 90
h = 90 × tan[26º]
h = 43.9 ft
h = 44 feet
Therefore, the height of the lighthouse is 44 feet.
Answer:
AH = 1 or 4
CH = 4 or 1
Step-by-step explanation:
An altitude divides a right triangle into similar triangles. That means the sides are in proportion, so ...
AH/BH = BH/CH
AH·CH = BH²
The problem statement tells us AH + CH = AC = 5, so we can write
AH·(5 -AH) = BH²
AH·(5 -AH) = 2² = 4
This gives us the quadratic ...
AH² -5AH +4 = 0 . . . . in standard form
(AH -4)(AH -1) = 0 . . . . factored
This equation has solutions AH = 1 or 4, the values of AH that make the factors be zero. Then CH = 5-AH = 4 or 1.

Answer: w x 4 + 2 = p
Step-by-step explanation:
W = Week
P = Paper
4 kg a week would be 4 x w
you also must add the 2 kilograms at the start of the year
