Answer:

=

412

feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle of depression is always measured from the horizontal.

A triangle is formed by the lighthouse, the ground and the boat. The angle of depression is not in the triangle, but it is equal to the angle of elevation at the boat. (Alternate angles on parallel lines)

The angle at the top of the lighthouse, inside the triangle is:

90°−27°

=63°

The distance to the boat is the side opposite the angle of

63°

while the height of the lighthouse is the adjacent side.

opposite

adjacent

=tan 63°

distance

210=tan 63°

distance=210×tan 63°=412 feet

maria [59]

Answer:

65 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to work backwards.

We end with 63 people, and at the stop we lost 19 people and gained 17.

x - 19 + 17 = 63\\; if x = # people at the beginning

x - 19 + 17 = 63\\x - 2 = 63\\x = 65

There were 65 people on the train to begin with.

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Surface area = 252 inches^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh

2(2*8) + 2(2*11) + 2(8*11)

32 + 44 + 176 = 252

Find an equation of the parabola y = ax2 + bx + c that passes through (0, 1) and is tangent to the line y = 4x − 4 at (1, 0).
larisa86 [58]
We are given the following:
          - parabola passes to both (1,0) and (0,1) 
<span>          - slope at x = 1 is 4 from the equation of the tangent line </span>

<span>First, we figure out the value of c or the y intercept, we use the second point (0, 1) and substitute to the equation of the parabola. W</span><span>hen x = 0, y = 1. So, c should be equal to 1. The</span><span> parabola is y = ax^2 + bx + 1 </span>

<span>Now, we can substitute the point (1,0) into the equation,
</span>0 = a(1)^2 + b(1) + 1 
<span>0 = a + b + 1
a + b = -1 </span>

<span>The slope at x = 1 is equal to 4 which is equal to the first derivative of the equation.</span>
<span>We take the derivative of the  equation ,
y = ax^2 + bx + 1</span>
<span>y' = 2ax + b 
</span>
<span>x = 1, y' = 2
</span>4 = 2a(1) + b 
<span>4 = 2a + b </span>

So, we have two equations and  two unknowns,<span> </span>
<span>2a + b = 4 </span>
<span>a + b = -1 
</span><span>
Solving simultaneously,
a = 5 </span>
<span>b = -6</span>

<span>Therefore, the eqution of the parabola is y = 5x^2 - 6x + 1 .</span>

Help fast pls!!!!!
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

length of rectangle = circumference of circle = πd = 6π cm

area of rectangle = 2×6π = 12π cm

area of one circle = πr² = 9π cm²

surface area = 12π + 2(9π) = 30π ≅ 90 cm²
