The horizontal distance between Carl and the rock at sea is approximately 60.62ft.

Data;

  • Angle = 30 degree
  • Opposite = 35
  • Adjacent = x

<h3>Trigonometric Ratio</h3>

Given the angle of depression from his point to the sea, we can use trigonometric ratio to calculate for the horizontal distance from his location to the bottom of the sea.

SOHCAHTOA

Since we have the value of angle and opposite and we need to calculate the adjacent side of the right-angle triangle, we can use the tangent of the angle to this effect.

Tan\theta = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} \\tan 30 = \frac{35}{x}\\ x = \frac{35}{tan30}\\ x = 60.62ft

The horizontal distance between Carl and the rock at sea is approximately 60.62ft.

A tank of water holding 528 kl of water begain to empty at a rate of 10 kl/min at the same time a another tank whitch is empty b
torisob [31]
This is a system of equations.  The first equation represents the tank being emptied and the second equation represents the tank being filled:

k = -10t + 528
k = 14t

To solve this system of equations, we will use substitution. The second equation says that k is equal to 14t, so we can substitute 14t for k in the first equation.

14t = -10t + 528
24t = 528
t = 22

Now that we have t, we can use it to find k by plugging it in to the second equation:

k = 14(22)
k = 308

So, it will take 22 minutes for both tanks to hold equal amounts of water. They will each hold 308 kiloliters.
