Are -3/5 and -0.4 equal ?

$\large \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer \: with \: Explanation} \downarrow}$

Okay so, to solve this question we need to convert -3/5 to its decimal form.
$\large \sf - \frac{3}{5} = - 0.6 \\$
We can see that - 3/5 is equal to - 0.6 which is not equal to -0.4.
So, <em><u>- 3/5 & - 0.4 are not equal.</u></em>

An observer on top of a 50-foot tall lighthouse sees a boat at a 7° angle of depression. To the nearest foot, how far is the boa

Yuri [45]

Answer:

407.22 foot is the boat from the base of the lighthouse

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the statement: An observer on top of a 50-foot tall lighthouse sees a boat at a 7° angle of depression.

Let x foot be the distance of the object(boat) from the base of the lighthouse

Angle of depression = $7^{\circ}$

$\angle CAB = \angle DCA = 7^{\circ}$ [Alternate angle]

In triangle CAB:

To find AB = x foot.

Using tangent ratio:

$\tan (\theta) = \frac{Opposite side}{Adjacent Base}$

$\tan (\angle CAB) = \frac{BC}{AB}$

Here, BC = 50 foot and $\angle CAB =7^{\circ}$

then;

$\tan (7^{\circ}) = \frac{50}{x}$

$x = \frac{50}{\tan 7^{\circ}}$

$x = \frac{50}{0.1227845609}$

Simplify:

AB = x = 407.217321 foot

Therefore, the boat from the base of the light house is, 407.22'
