A boat is heading towards a lighthouse, whose beacon-light is 107 feet above the water. From point AA, the boat’s crew measures
the angle of elevation to the beacon, 13° , before they draw closer. They measure the angle of elevation a second time from point BB at some later time to be 22°
. Find the distance from point AA to point BB. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot if necessary.
The rate shown in your graph is 3. (rise:run = 3:1) An equation with a lesser rate will have an x-coefficient that is less than 3. The x-coefficients in your answer choices appear to be ...
