The horizontal distance between the base of the skyscraper to the ship is 1145 feet.

Data;

  • Angle = 45 degree
  • Observation deck (adjacent) = 1145 ft
  • horizontal distance (opposite) = x

<h3>Trigonometric Ratios</h3>

Using trigonometric ratios, we have the value of adjacent and angle, we can easily use tangent of the angle to find the horizontal distance

tan\theta = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

Substitute the values into the equation and solve

tan45 = \frac{x}{1145}\\ x = 1145tan45\\x = 1145ft

The horizontal distance between the base of the skyscraper to the ship is 1145 feet.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5. x/7 = 9/x

x^2 = 63

x= 3\sqrt{7}

6. x/84 = 16/x

x^2 = 1344

x=8\sqrt{21}

7. x/12 = 12/16

16x=144

x=9

8. x/48 = 48/64

64x=2304

x=36
