Answer:

x = 240 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

The angle of depression is 30 degrees from the bottom of the boat to a deep sea diver at the depth of 120 ft.

We need to find the distance x the diver must swim up to the boat. It can be calculate by applying trigonometry as follows :

$\sin30=\dfrac{120}{x}\\\\x=\dfrac{120}{\sin30}\\\\x=240\ \text{feet}$

So, the distance the diver must swim up to the boat is 240 feet.

BigorU [14]

Given that Collins made 15% down payment, the amount to be financed will be given by:
(Price of treadmill)-(down payment)
down payment=15/100×1662
=$249.3
thus the amount to be financed will be:
1662-249.3
=$1412.7
