Answer: the distance of the boat from the foot of the lighthouse is 290.5 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
The right angle triangle ABC representing the scenario is shown in the attached photo.
Angle A is alternate to the angle of depression, hence, they are the same.
The height of the lighthouse represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle. The distance, x of the boat from the foot of the lighthouse represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.
To determine x, we would apply
the tangent trigonometric ratio.
Tan θ, = opposite side/adjacent side. Therefore,
Tan 11.1 = 57/x
x = 57/Tan 11.1 = 57/0.1962
x = 290.5 feet to the nearest tenth.
O is the midpoint so both sides FO and OG need to equal each other.
3x + 17 = 7x - 15
Subtract 3x from both sides:
17 = 4x -15
Add 15 to both sides:
32 = 4x
Divide both sides by 4:
x = 32/4
X = 8
Now you have the value of X, solve for the lengths:
FO = 3x +17 = 3(8) +17 = 24 +17 = 41
OG = 7x -15 = 7(8) -15 = 56-15 = 41
Total length would be 41 + 41 = 82
Answer:
a n = -3+(n-1)-30
Step-by-step explanation:
-3 - 30 = -33
-33 - 30 = -63
-63 - 30 = -93
The common difference here is -30. d = -30
The explicit formula is a n = a1 + (n-1)d
Answer:
18 inches or 1 foot 6 inches/1 foot and a half
Step-by-step explanation:
one foot is 12 inches long so you take the number of feet given (7—we'll worry about the half later) and multiply by the number of inches that are in a foot (12)
7×12=84
then half a foot is 6 inches so 84+6=90 inches
then we take 90 and divide it by 5 (to get the length of one piece)
90/5=18 inches
you can keep it as 18 inches or convert it into feet which you subtract 12 from 18, and you have 6 inches left which is 1 foot and a half
