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.
O.17 because it can also be 0.170 witch is still bigger then 0.165
Answer:
864 ft^2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the base = 16^2 = 256.
Area of the triangular sides = 4 * 1/2 * 16 * 19
Total area = 256 + 608
= 864 ft^2.
Yes they are equivalent. You get -3 when you try solving the actual equation.
So, first let's change these numbers into decimal form:
3*0.1 + 4*0.01 + 8*0.001 ? 1.2
Multiply:
0.3 + 0.04 + 0.008 ? 1.2
0.348 < 1.2
One and two tenths is larger.
Hopefully this is what you're asking, as this question is unclear
