A boat is heading towards a lighthouse, whose beacon-light is 113 feet above the water. From point AA, the boat’s crew measures

the angle of elevation to the beacon, 10^{\circ} ∘ , before they draw closer. They measure the angle of elevation a second time from point BB at some later time to be 21^{\circ} ∘ . Find the distance from point AA to point BB. Round your answer to the nearest foot if necessary.

The distance between points A and B and the boat is an illustration of elevation and distance

The distance from point A to point B is 346 feet

<h3>How to calculate the distance AB</h3>

The height of the lighthouse is given as:

h = 113

The distance between point A and the base of the lighthouse is calculated using the following tangent ratio

\tan(10) = \frac{113}{A}

Make A, the subject

A = \frac{113}{\tan(10)}

A = 640.85

The distance between point B and the base of the lighthouse is calculated using the following tangent ratio

\tan(21) = \frac{113}{B}

Make B, the subject

B= \frac{113}{\tan(21)}

B= 294.38

The distance AB, is then calculated as:

AB = A - B

AB = 640.85 - 294.38

AB = 346.47

Approximate

AB = 346

Hence, the distance from point A to point B is 346 feet

What is a formula for the nth term of the given sequence?
lakkis [162]

Answer: option D is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence is a geometric sequence because the consecutive terms differ by a common ratio.

The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as

an = a1r^(n - 1)

Where

a1 represents the first term of the sequence.

r represents the common ratio.

n represents the number of terms.

From the information given,

a1 = 36

r = 12/36 = 4/12 = 1/3

Therefore, the formula for the nth term of the sequence is

an = 36 × 1/3^(n - 1)

an = 36 × 3^-1(n - 1)

an = 36 × 3^(-n + 1)

an = 36 × 3^(1 - n)

barxatty [35]

Answer:

  2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the values in place of the corresponding variables and do the arithmetic:

  ab - 0.5b = (1)(5) -0.5(5) = 5 - 2.5 = 2.5
