Answer:
x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the hypothenuse, you need to do 
. Which equals 164. Therefore, since 
, a=8, b=10, and c=.
17.4736843 or 17 remainder 45
Your answer is gonna be C
The complete answer is 2.25E-17
but I think it may be A
The distance between the points A to B is 899.9 feet. After rounding off the nearest integer we get 900 feet as the final answer.
Given we know that CD is perpendicular to AD.
The distance between CD is 139 feet.
As from points A the boat's crew measure the angle of elevation to the beacon as 6°
therefore, m∠A = 6°
Another time the angle of elevation is measured from point B which is 19°.
therefore, m∠DBC = 19°
tan 19° = CD/BD
BD = CD/tan19°
BD = 136/tan 19°
now for tan 6° = CD/AD (tangent is opposite over adjacent)
AD = CD/tan 6°
AD = 136/tan 6°
AB = AD ₋ BD
AB = 136/tan 6° ₋ 136/tan 19°
AB = 1295.2 ₋ 395.3
AB = 900 feet
hence the distance from point A to B is 900 feet.
