Answer:  About 513 feet

A more accurate value is roughly 512.575960394824

==============================================================

Explanation:

With many trig problems, a diagram should help steer you in the right direction. See below.

The red angle is the angle of depression. It's formed by starting off looking straight horizontal, then we look down 26 degrees. The blue angle adds to the red angle to get 90, so we can see that 26+64 = 90. Or you could say 90-26 = 64.

The goal is to find the value of x, which is the length from B (the lighthouse base) to point C (the ship's location).

The lighthouse is 250 ft tall, meaning AB = 250

We'll use angle BAC, or angle A for short, as the reference angle. This is the blue angle in the diagram.

We have a known adjacent side (AB = 250) and an unknown opposite side (BC = x). We use a tangent ratio to tie these sides together with the reference angle in question. This way we can solve for x.

-------------------

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(A) = BC/AB

tan(64) = x/250

250*tan(64) = x

x = 250*tan(64)

x = 512.575960394824

x = 513

The distance from B to C is roughly 513 feet.

I'm rounding to the nearest whole number because the other values given to you are whole numbers.

MArishka [77]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When two variables say x and y are proportional let us assume y dependent variable and x independent variable

then we have y =kx

Here k is called the constant of proportionality.

Whenever x increases/decreases by 1 unit, the y value also increases/decreases by k units.

Whenever x=1, y =k

and always \frac{y}{x} =k

Thus we can fill up as

the constant of proportionality is always the point___(1.k)____, where k is the constant of proportionality. Additionally, you can find the constant of proportionality by finding the ratio of___y to x____, for any point on the___graph of the function.___.

A car uses a litre of petrol to travel 4km. How many litres will it use to travel 32 kilometres.
lesya [120]

Given that,

A car uses a litre of petrol to travel 4 km.

To find,

How many litres will it use to travel 32 kilometres.

Solution,

We have,

1 litre = 4 km

or

1 km = (1/4) litre

Let it will use x litres to travel 32 km.

32 km = (32/4) litres

= 8 litres

Hence, 8 litres it will use to travel 32 km.
