Answer:

1060 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A boat looks up at a light house at an angle of elevation of 23.If the top of the lighthouse is 450 feet higher than sea level, what is the horizontal distance from the boat to shore?

We solve the above question using the Trigonometric function of Tangent

tan x = Opposite/Adjacent

x = Angle of Elevation = 23°

Opposite = 450 feet

Adjacent = The horizontal distance from the boat to shore = y

Hence,

tan 23 = 450/y

Cross Multiply

tan 23 × y = 450

y = 450/tan 23

y = 1060.1335646 feet

Approximately = 1060 feet

Therefore, the horizontal distance from the boat to shore is 1060 feet

Find the coordinates of the intersection of the diagonals of parallelogram qrst with vertices q(-8,1), r(2,1), s(4,-3), t(-6,-3)
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Point of intersection is (-2, -1).

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals bisect each other so we only need to find the midpoint  of one of the diagonals. We'll use the diagonal qs:-

Midpoint = (-8 + 4)/2, (1 + -3)/2

= (-2, -1)

Express the following equation in slope intercept form: 8x-2y=10<br> pleaseeeeeeeeeeee
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

y = 4x–5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is y = mx +b. We can rearrange the equation to fit slope intercept form.

–2y = –8x + 10  (we get this by subtracting 8x from both sides)

In order to isolate the y, we divide both sides by –2.

\frac{-2y}{-2} = \frac{-8x}{-2} + \frac{-10}{-2}

–2 divided by –2 equals 1, –8 divided by –2 equals 4, and 10 divided by –2 equals 5.

Therefore, the answer is y = 4x–5.
