Answer: the distance of the boat from the foot of the lighthouse is 290.5 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
The right angle triangle ABC representing the scenario is shown in the attached photo.
Angle A is alternate to the angle of depression, hence, they are the same.
The height of the lighthouse represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle. The distance, x of the boat from the foot of the lighthouse represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.
To determine x, we would apply
the tangent trigonometric ratio.
Tan θ, = opposite side/adjacent side. Therefore,
Tan 11.1 = 57/x
x = 57/Tan 11.1 = 57/0.1962
x = 290.5 feet to the nearest tenth.
Answer: E. 4/5
Step-by-step explanation: You have to put the decimal (0.8) over its place value. So in this case 0.8 turns into 8/10. Then you must simplify 8/10, by dividing the numerator (8) and the denominator (10) by the greatest common factor (2). Which gives you the answer 4/5.
Step-by-step explanation:
2×750=1500 + 0^7. ( 0×0×0×0×0×0×0=0)
So,
1500 Answer
Answer:
x=7, so the smaller number is 7 and the larger number is 21.
Step-by-step explanation:
x=3x+5=33
Let x=3:
(3)+3(3)+5=3+9+5=17, not 33, so x is not 3
Let x=5:
(5)+3(5)+5=5+15+5=25, not 33, so x is not 5
Let x=7:
(7)+3(7)+5=7+21+5=33, so x=7
Let x=9:
(9)+3(9)+5=9+27+5=41, not 33, so x is not 9
Therefore x=7. Because x represents the smaller number, and the larger number is 3 times the smaller number, the smaller number is 7 and the larger number is 3(7)=21.
