Answer:

328 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

From a boat ont he lake, the angle of elevation to the top of a cliff is 11° 50'. If the base of the cliff is 1568 feet from the boat, how high is the cliff (to the nearest foot)

Step 1

Note that

that 11°50' is just 11 degrees and 50 minutes

60 minutes = 1 degree,

thus 50 minutes = x degree

50/60 degrees

= 0.83°

Hence: 11°50' = 11.83°.

Step 2

We solve using Trigonometric function of tan

tan theta = Opposite/Adjacent

theta = 11.83°

Adjacent = 1568 feet

Opposite = Height of the cliff = x

tan 11.83° = x/1568

Cross Multiply

x = tan 11.83 × 1568

x = 328.429195 feet

Approximately = 328 feet

The height of the cliff is 328 feet

What kind of triangle is abc. Select all that apply. Geometry
pshichka [43]

Answer:

Right, Isosceles

Step-by-step explanation:

The side lengths of this triangle : 2√8 2√5 2√5

Scalane triangle has all side lengths in different measure but in this triangle we have two side lengths equal

Right triangle has a right angle with 90° and the square measure of hypotenuse is equal to sum of the square length of two side lengths in this triangle since 2√5 + 2√5 = 2√8 we can say that this is a right triangle.

Isosceles triangle are triangles with two side lengths equal to each other

Equilateral triangles are triangles with all side lengths equal to each other but we know one of the side length in this triangle is different

so the answer is Right and Isosceles.

Michelle and her father want to make a triangular sail for their boat. The height of the sail will be 24 ft., and the base will
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The area of the triangular sail is 216 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sail is triangular, we solve the area using the area of a triangle

Area of triangle = 1/2 of base × height

base is 18 and height is 24

Area = 1/2 × 18 × 24

= 9×24

= 216 ft²
