Answer:
I don't think you are doing anything wrong. Just ignore it and write the repeating decimal. If you're asked to do it, round it up instead.
The coordinates of Ship A and B are missing, so i have attached it
Answer:
The vessel in distress is located at the coordinate (1, 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The coordinates attached shows that;
Coordinates of A are (3, 4) while that of B are (1, 1).
We are told that Ship A receives a distress signal from the north, And ship B receives a distress signal from the same vessel from the southeast.
Now, from the image attached, If we imagine extending the line of ship A that is getting distress signal from southeast and also same thing for ship B that is getting signal from north,we'll discover that the lines intersect at a point with co-ordinates of approximately; (1, 2)
Draw a triangle with shortest side on the ground (horiz.). The length of this side is 80 feet. Two angles touch the ground: a right angle, and the 70 degree angle.
Then the height of the building is the 2nd shortest side.
The tangent function is the appropriate one to use here:
opp h
tan 70 deg = -------- = ----------
adj 80 ft
h
Since tan 70 deg = 2.75, 2.75 = -------
80 ft
so h = building height = (80 ft)(2.75) = 219.8 ft
C is the correct answer 7 to the right and 5 up 7/5
