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

Learning Task 1: Write and answer the following in your answer sheet
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Evaluating Polynomials:

a. f(1) = -10  

b. f(-3) = -239  

c. f(2)² = 3125

Factoring Polynomials:

a. (x + 1)(x² - 5x + 6) = (x + 1)(x - 3)(x - 2)  

b. (x² - x - 6)(x² + 6x + 9) = (x - 3)(x + 2)(x + 3)(x + 3)  

c. x³ + 3x² - 4x - 12 = (x + 3)(x - 2)(x + 2)(x - 2)(x + 2)
