Answer:

15.95 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Angle of elevation = 62°

Using trigonometric relation :

Tanθ = opposite / Adjacent

From the drawing attached :

Opposite = 30 feets

Distance between girl and lighthouse = d

Tan 62 = 30 / d

1.8807264 * d = 30

d = 30 / 1.8807264

d = 15.951283

d = 15.95 feets

PLEAAASE ANSWER TIMER IS RUNNING OUT
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

the correct answer is 1/2.

How i came to this answer was adding all of the number of medals together for all of the years, coming up to a total of 22. When asking about probability of any given set or amount of things, you always take the selected values and take them out of the whole amount. Years 2009 and 2012 have a whole selected value of 11 (4+7). Therefore you're "taking" 11 from 22, coming up with the fraction 11/22 seeing as that is not a answer choice the next step is to simply the fraction to 1/2.

in an isosceles triangle that is not equilateral, the angle between the congruent sides is called a _______angle. a.leg b.vertex
Gelneren [198K]

we know that

An isosceles triangle is a triangle with two congruent sides. These congruent sides are called legs. The point at which these legs meet is called the vertex point of the isosceles triangle, and the angle formed by the legs is called the vertex angle. The other two angles of the triangle are called base angles.

see the attached figure to better understand the question

therefore

the answer is

Vertex angle

Question 1: Find the distance between the points (1, 4) and (5, 1).
Anit [1.1K]

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{5}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{1})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ d=\sqrt{(5-1)^2+(1-4)^2}\implies d=\sqrt{4^2+(-3)^2} \\\\\\ d=\sqrt{16+9}\implies d=\sqrt{25}\implies d=5
