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.
You can determine if two numbers are equal if they have the same value. (4 are 4 are equal) (4 and 5 are not equal). You can determine if two expressions are equal by solving them. If the answers are of an equal value, they are equal. (4+5 and 6+3 are equal because they both work out to be 9) (4+5 and 5+5 are not equal because they work out to be 9 and 10.)

Answer:
63 Jelly Beans
Step-by-step explanation:
The unknown is the number of jelly beans originally in the bag or x
First he had x jelly beans
The he ate one-third of them
He then ate 16 more jelly beans
This was equal to 37 jelly beans
This is the equation
Now solve for x
Subtract 16 from both sides
Multiply both sides by 3
63 Jelly Beans
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The factor pairs of 6 are 1×6 and 2×3
So the parallelogram (height by length) could be:
1 by 6
2 by 3
3 by 2
6 by 1
5=-7s
5/-7
