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:
x = -5 ±4sqrt(3)
Step-by-step explanation:
(x + 5)^2 = 48
Take the square root of each side
sqrt((x + 5)^2) = ±sqrt(48)
x+5 = ±sqrt(16*3)
x+5 = ±4sqrt(3)
Subtract 5 from each side
x = -5 ±4sqrt(3)
Answer:
m=4
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we know that quadrilateral ABCD is similar to QRST, we know that the side lengths will be proportional to one another. As such, we should take a ratio to determine the side length of m.
m=4
Answer:
124 ft2
Step-by-step explanation:
The yard is a 12ft square so the length and width would both be 12ft. You multiply the length and width of the yard to get the area of the yard so 12x12=144. You have the length and width of the flower bed so 5x4=20. Once you have the area of both you can subtract the area the flower bed takes up of the lawn. 144-20=124 ft2.
