From the top of a lighthouse 280 feet tall, to keep her spot a ship in distress at an angle of depression of 18°. How far is the boat from shore(The base of the lighthouse) round to the nearest foot

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

Height of the lighthouse = 280 feet

The angle of depression from the top of the lighthouse to a ship = 18°.

To find:

The distance between boat and shore.

Solution:

Draw a diagram by using the given information.

In a right angle triangle,

[tex]\tan \theta=\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}[/tex]

In triangle ABC,

[tex]\tan C=\dfrac{AB}{BC}[/tex]

[tex]\tan 18^\circ=\dfrac{280}{BC}[/tex]

[tex]BC=\dfrac{280}{\tan 18^\circ}[/tex]

Using a calculator, we get

[tex]BC=\dfrac{280}{0.3249}[/tex]

[tex]BC=861.80363...[/tex]

[tex]BC\approx 862[/tex]

Therefore, the boat is 862 feet away from shore.

What should be added to 7/12 to get -4/15 ?

Answers

Answer:

-17/20

Step-by-step explanation:

7/12 + x = -4/15

Subtract 7/12 from both sides

x = -4/15 - 7/12

Use 60 as common denominator

x = -16/60 - 35/60

x = -51/60

Reduce

please help, I'll give brainlist who answers my questions ax+by=2x-3y​

Answers

Answer:

a=4, b=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

If it is vertical, then the y coefficient must be equal to zero, which means b = -3. When y is 0, a*3=2*3+6, which means a=4.

Answer:

a=4

b=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

ax+by=2x-3y+6 is vertical and passes through (3,0) which means the equation should be equivalent to x=3.

If we want the y's to cancel we need -3y on lefy since we have it on right so b=-3.

So now the equation is ax=2x+6

If ax=2x+6 and x=3, by substitution property we have a(3)=2(3)+6.

Let's solve for a.

3a=6+6.

3a=12

a=12/3

a=4.

a=4

b=-3

Answers

Answer:

n= 2x-6y

Step-by-step explanation:

So we might look at this and have an immediate panic attack, but if there is one thing we might look to to help us, it would be logarithms. Logarithms have many wonderful properties that will help us solve this equation. Let's get started:

1.  This is the starting equation. [tex](2^{\frac{1}{2} } )^{n} =\frac{2^x}{8^y}[/tex]

2. Let's use the power to power rule on the left and multiply 1/2 by n:

a. [tex]2^{\frac{1}{2}n } =\frac{2^x}{8^y}[/tex]

3. Next, lets take the log of both sides and use the properties of logarithms:

a. [tex]2^{\frac{1}{2}n } =\frac{2^x}{8^y}[/tex]

b. [tex]log(2^{\frac{1}{2}n }) =log(\frac{2^x}{8^y})[/tex]

c. One property we are allowed to use is bringing down the exponent on the left, and another property we can use is when you have the log of a fraction, that is the same thing as the log(numerator)-log(denominator)

d. [tex]\frac{1}{2}n *log(2) =log(2^x)-log(8^y)[/tex]

e. After we do this, we can use the same property of bringing down the exponent on the right side:

f. [tex]\frac{1}{2}n *log(2) =x*log(2)-y*log(8)[/tex]

g. After this, because log(2) and 1/2 are both numbers and are multiplied by n, we can divide them from both sides, and simplify:

h. [tex]\frac{1}{2}n =\frac{x*log(2)-y*log(8)}{log(2)}[/tex]

i. [tex]2(\frac{1}{2})n =2\frac{x*log(2)-y*log(8)}{log(2)}[/tex]

j. [tex]n =2\frac{x*log(2)-y*log(8)}{log(2)}[/tex]

k. After this, we must simplify the fraction because log(2)/log(2)=1, and log(8)/log(2)=3, these are both because 2^1=2 and 2^3=8 respectively:

l. [tex]n =2(\frac{x*log(2)}{log(2)}-\frac{y*log(8)}{log(2)} )[/tex]

m. Lastly, let's cancel and distribute:

n. [tex]n =2(x-3y)[/tex]

o. [tex]n=2x-6y[/tex]

What is the surface area of the right cylinder below?

Ok to find the surface area of this cylinder first we need the circumference to find this we do C=πd

C=3.14*18

C=56.52

now we have to multiple this by the height of two

113.04

now we have to find the area of the bottom to do this we do A=πR^2

A=3.14*81

A=254.34

multiple this by two for the two sides we get

508.68

now we add this to 113.04 we get

since I used 3.14 instead of more digits of pie we can round this up so the answer is C.

What is histogram?

A histogram is a rough representation of the distribution of numerical data. The term was first coined by Karl Pearson.

The histogram is the width of the area covered by the x-axis bars. These are approximate values ​​because the histograms show the bin values ​​instead of the original data values.

If a histogram is bell-shaped, it can be modestly described by its center and width. The center is the location of its axis of symmetry. The spread is the distance between the center and one of its inflection points.
