Mars<span> and Earth orbit the </span>sun<span> at different speeds: Earth has an inside track and gets around the sun more quickly. Plus, both have elliptical orbits, rather than perfect circles. So the distance to Mars from Earth is constantly changing. In theory, the closest the planets could come together would be when Mars is at its </span>closest point<span> to the sun (</span>perihelion) and Earth is at itsfarthest point<span> (</span>aphelion<span>). In that situation, the planets would be 33.9 million miles (54.6 million kilometers) from each other. But that has never happened in recorded history. The closest known approach was 34.8 million miles (56 million km) in 2003 ....... :D!

Answer:
Horizontal distance between lifeguard and the person is 22 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: A lifeguard sees a person in distress.The eye level of the lifeguard is 15 feet above the ground. Angle of depression is 34°.
To find: Horizontal distance between lifeguard and the person.
Solution : If we draw a triangle then tan∅ = 
Here base is the horizontal distance.
Now we put the values in the formula.
tan 34° = 
Or Base = 
= 
So the answer is 22 feet.
Answer:
11.2
Step-by-step explanation:
First draw an imaginary straight line to separate the two shapes.
You will have a side of 10 in the traingle
And a side of 13 - 8 =5
Then
Using pythagoras theorem
Sqrt(10^2+5^2)=11.180
