Answer:
I agree that this question can be confusing:
Apparently point A and point B must be on the same straight line (measured from the light house or the question would be nonsensical)
tan 13 = H / DA where H is height of lighthouse
tan 8 = H / DB tangent measured from point B
tan 13 / tan 8 = DB / DA
DB = .2309 / .1405 * 1279 = 2101 ft
DB - DA = 2101 - 1279 = 822.0 ft
The general formula for geometric series is tn = a×rⁿ⁻¹. In this question, a (or a1) is 3, and r is 1.1, therefore the first ten terms would be 3×1.1⁰ (3) , 3×1.1¹ (3.3), 3×1.1² (3.63) and so on up until you get to 3×1.1⁹ or 7.07.
Answer:
C. The triangles are not similar.
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide the short sides and long sides to see if they are similar:
24/16 = 1.5
36/28 = 1.29
The triangles are not similar.
<u>Finding the constant of proportionality</u> :
<u>Finding y when x = 6</u> :
- y = 10(6)²
- y = 10(36)
- y = 360
The value of y is <u>360</u> when x = 6.
