Answer: x = 10 <em>OR</em> x = 4.

Step-by-step explanation: If x = 10 or 4 then the last step of the equation will always be multiplying by 0 which equates to 0 as well.

if x = 10

(10-10)(10-4) -> (0)(6) -> 0 x 6 = 0

if x = 4

(4-10)(4-4) -> (-6)(0) -> -6 x 0 = 0

slope = rise over run = y/x

A (-1,3) slope = 3/-1 = -3

B (1,2) slope = 2/1 = 2

C (-3,-1) slope = -1/-3 = 1/3

2 lines need to be negative reciprocals in order to be a right triangle

negative reciprocal of -3 is 1/3

so this is a right triangle

The angle of depression from the top of a cruise ship to the top of a sailboat is 22. Sitting above water, the cruise ship is 23

dusya [7]

Answer:

The distance between the cruise ship and the sail boat is 517 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cruise ship is 236 feet tall, and the sailboat is 236 tall; this means the distance between the top of the cruise ship and the top of the sail boat is

236 feet - 27 feet = 209 feet.

We also know that the angel of depression from the top of the cruise ship to the bottom of the cruise ship is 22°. This forms a right triangle as shown in the figure attached.

Now from trigonometry we get:

$tan \: \theta = \dfrac{209}{d}$
