Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, so if we know how much wire is needed for one outlet, we must figure out how many 18.25s fit into 50 ft of wire.
18.25*2=36.5
18.25*3=54.75 which is over 50 so it cannot possibly be more than 2.
Do you want to know what it's called or??
For me to solve it?
Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
If we let
x as the distance traveled by the boat
y as the distance between the boat and the lighthouse.
Then, we have:
tan 18°33' = 200 / (x + y)
and
tan 51°33' = 200 / y
Solving for y in the second equation:
y = 200 / tan 51°33'
Rearranging the first equation and substituting y
x = 200 / tan 18°33' - 200 / tan 55°33'
x = 458.81 ft
Therefore, the boat traveled 458.81 ft before it stopped.
