Answer:   565 feet

This value is approximate.

===============================================

Explanation:

Imagine you are at the top of the lighthouse, and look straight horizontally outward. Then imagine looking down 23 degrees to spot the boat. This forms the angle of depression.

The adjacent angle complementary to this is 90-23 = 67 degrees. This is the interior angle of the triangle needed, and this angle is at the top of the triangle.

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(67) = x/240

x = 240*tan(67)

x = 565.4045677977 approximately

x = 565 feet

Find the inverse of f (x) = x + 2 + 9
Brut [27]

Answer:

y = x - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

First, turn the f(x) into a y:

y = x + 2 + 9

Now, switch the x and y.

x = y + 2 + 9

Add like terms.

2  + 9 = 11

x = y + 11

Now, solve for y. Subtract 11 on both sides.

y = x - 11

A box of donuts containing 6 maple bars, 3 chocolate donuts, and 3 custard filled donuts is sitting on a counter in a work offic
Svetlanka [38]

Probabilities are used to determine the chances of selecting a kind of donut from the box.

The probability that Warren eats a chocolate donut, and then a custard filled donut is 0.068

The given parameters are:

\mathbf{Bars = 6}

\mathbf{Chocolate = 3}

\mathbf{Custard= 3}

The total number of donuts in the box is:

\mathbf{Total= 6 + 3 + 3}

\mathbf{Total= 12}

The probability of eating a chocolate donut, and then a custard filled donut is calculated using:

\mathbf{Pr = \frac{Chocolate}{Total}\times \frac{Custard}{Total-1}}

So, we have:

\mathbf{Pr = \frac{3}{12}\times \frac{3}{12-1}}

Simplify

\mathbf{Pr = \frac{3}{12}\times \frac{3}{11}}

Multiply

\mathbf{Pr = \frac{9}{132}}

Divide

\mathbf{Pr = 0.068}

Hence, the probability that Warren eats a chocolate donut, and then a custard filled donut is approximately 0.068
