The distance between the points A to B is 899.9 feet. After rounding off the nearest integer we get 900 feet as the final answer.
Given we know that CD is perpendicular to AD.
The distance between CD is 139 feet.
As from points A the boat's crew measure the angle of elevation to the beacon as 6°
therefore, m∠A = 6°
Another time the angle of elevation is measured from point B which is 19°.
therefore, m∠DBC = 19°
tan 19° = CD/BD
BD = CD/tan19°
BD = 136/tan 19°
now for tan 6° = CD/AD (tangent is opposite over adjacent)
AD = CD/tan 6°
AD = 136/tan 6°
AB = AD ₋ BD
AB = 136/tan 6° ₋ 136/tan 19°
AB = 1295.2 ₋ 395.3
AB = 900 feet
hence the distance from point A to B is 900 feet.

Answer:
0.1375
Step-by-step explanation:
What I would do is subtract 12 from -5. Then you would have -17. Then you would add 4 and it would be -13. So your answer is:
<h2><em>
-13</em></h2>
Just a guess, but the angle inside the triangle that's not x or y is the remaining angle after subtracting the 30 degrees shown. That makes the non labeled angle inside the triangle 150 degrees. since all triangles are 180 degrees, this means x and y add up to 30. They look roughly the same, so i'd guess they're both 15 degrees.
