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

First, rewrite 14/25 and 11/20 so that they have a common denominator. Then, use <, =, >
muminat

Answer: 14/25 = 56/100

               11/20 =  55/100

               14/25 > 11/20

Step-by-step explanation:

The least common multiple of 20 and 25 is 100.

(100 = 20*5, 25*4)

So we can take the common denominator 100.

14*4/25*4 =56/100. ∴14/25 = 56/100

11*5/20*5  =55/100. ∴11/20  = 55/100

56>55

∴56/100 > 55/100

∴14/25 > 11/20

Hope it's good;)

Solve the system:<br> 2.5(x−3y)−3=−3x+0.5 3(x+6y)+4=9y+19
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The value of x and y that satisfy the equations is x = 2 and y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2.5(x−3y)−3=−3x+0.5

3(x+6y)+4=9y+19

Required.

Find x and y

We start by opening all brackets

2.5(x−3y)−3=−3x+0.5 becomes

2.5x - 7.5y - 3 = -3x + 0.5

Collect like terms

2.5x + 3x - 7.5y = 3 + 0.5

5.5x - 7.5y = 3.5 ---- Equation 1

In similar vein, 3(x+6y)+4=9y+19 becomes

3x + 18y + 4 = 9y + 19

Collect like terms

3x + 18y - 9y = 19 - 4

3x + 9y = 15

Multiply through by ⅓

⅓ * 3x + ⅓ * 9y = ⅓ * 15

x + 3y = 5

Make x the subject of formula

x = 5 - 3y

Substitute 5 - 3y for x in equation 1

5.5(5 - 3y) - 7.5y = 3.5

27.5 - 16.5y - 7.5y = 3.5

27.5 - 24y = 3.5

Collect like terms

-24y = 3.5 - 27.5

-24y = -24

Divide through by - 24

y = 1

Recall that x = 5 - 3y.

Substitute 1 for y in this equation

x = 5 - 3(1)

x = 5 - 3

x = 2

Hence, x = 2 and y = 1
