Answer: the height of the lighthouse is 838.8 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The right angle triangle ABC illustrating the scenario is shown in the attached photo.
The angle of depression and angle A are alternate angles, hence, they are the equal.
The height, h of the lighthouse represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle. The distance of the boat from the foot of the lighthouse represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.
To determine h, we would apply
the tangent trigonometric ratio.
Tan θ, = opposite side/adjacent side. Therefore,
Tan 62 = h/446
h = 446tan62 = 446 × 1.8807
h = 838.8 feet to the nearest tenth.
Answer:
<h3>The answer is 10.2 units</h3>Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between two points can be found by using the formula
where
(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points
From the question the points are
U (7,-4) and V(-3,-6)
The distance between them is
We have the final answer as
<h3>10.2 units to the nearest tenth</h3>Hope this helps you
Answer: POQ = 125
Step-by-step explanation: If you don’t want to read my long explanation, I drew a diagram of my work. :>
First we need to establish that POQ is a vertical angle to SOT, this makes the angles equal. We also need to establish that because the definition of an altitude, that T And S both form right angles. (An altitude is a perpendicular segment from a vertex of a triangle to the opposite side.) Now let’s take a look at the quadrilateral that is formed inside the triangle, the quadrilateral being RSOT. Luckily we know the measure of three of the angles, R=55, T=90, and S=90. If you didn’t know beforehand all angles of a quadrilateral add up to 360, so we can add up the angles we’ve already found to find the missing angle O/ SOT. When we add the angles, and then subtract that from 360 we get 125, so SOT=125. Remember that we established that SOT and POQ are vertical angles, so if SOT=125 then POQ=125.
I really hoped my explanation was good, this was my first time giving an answer. Also I’m sorry if my method of finding the answer wasn’t helpful, but this was the only way I could think of.
I accidentally gave myself a one star rating, that sucks.
