A boat heading out to sea starts out at Point AA, at a horizontal distance of 968 feet from a lighthouse/the shore. From that point, the boat’s crew measures the angle of elevation to the lighthouse’s beacon-light from that point to be 7^{\circ} ∘ . At some later time, the crew measures the angle of elevation from point BB to be 3^{\circ} ∘ . Find the distance from point AA to point BB. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot if necessary.

Answers

Answer 1

As the distance from the lighthouse, LH, increases, the angle of elevation,

reduces.

The distance from point A to point B is approximately 1,269.9 feet.

Reasons:

The distance of point A from the light house = 968 feet

Angle of elevation from point A to the lighthouse =

Angle of elevation from point B to the lighthouse =

Required:

The distance from point A to point B.

Solution:

[tex]\displaystyle tan(\theta) = \frac{Opposite \, side \, to\, angle}{Adjacent\, side \, to\, angle} = \mathbf{\frac{Height \ from \ sea \ to \ the \ light \ house }{Horizontal \ from \ boat \ to \ the\ LH}}[/tex]

Which gives;

[tex]\displaystyle tan(7^{\circ}) = \mathbf{\frac{Height \ from \ sea \ to \ the \ light \ house }{968 \ feet}}[/tex]

Height to the lighthouse = tan(7°) × 968 feet  ≈ 118.86 feet

From point B, we have;

[tex]\displaystyle tan(3^{\circ}) = \mathbf{ \frac{118.86 \ feet }{Horizontal \ distance \ from \ point \ B\ to \ LH}}[/tex]

Therefore;

[tex]\displaystyle Horizontal \ distance \ from \ boat \ to \ LH = \frac{118.86 \ feet }{tan(3^{\circ})} \approx \mathbf{2237.9 \, feet}[/tex]

Therefore;

Distance from A to B = D

D = Horizontal distance from B to LH - Horizontal distance from A to LH

Distance from A to B = 2237.9 feet - 968 feet ≈ 1269.9 feet

The distance from point A to point B, D ≈ 1,269.9 feet

You know the following information about triangle ABC and triangle DEF:
AB-DE and What additional information is needed to prove that the triangles are congruent by SAS?
AB=DE
AC=DF
BC=EF

Answers

Answer:

  (b)  AC = DF

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to use SAS, you need to show congruence of the sides on either side of the angle. One of those sides is given as congruent: AB = DE. (This given rules out choice A, which is identical.)

The remaining needed side will have points A and D as one of the points defining the side. This rules out choice D.

The relation between other angles is irrelevant to SAS, so choice C is ruled out.

Choice B: AC = DF will supply the information necessary to show congruence by SAS.

Five swimmers are entered into the competition. Four of the swimmers have had their turns. Their scores are 9.8s, 9.75s, 9.79s, and 9.81s. What score must the last swimmer get in order to win the competition?

Answers

Answer:

We must order these decimals from least to greatest. Then we must determine how the least compares with the winning score.

9.80 -> 3

9.75 -> 1

9.79 -> 2

9.81 -> 4

The least decimal is 9.75. Now we must determine how 9.75 compare with the winning score.

The last swimmer must get a score less than 9.75 s in order to win.

Isabella made two types of cakes: chocolate and vanilla. She cut all of the

chocolate cakes into 7 slices each and all of the vanilla cakes into 9 slices

each. If Isabella ended up with the same total number of slices of each type

of cake, what is the minimum number of slices of each type?

Answers

Answer:

To get the same total number of slices of each type of cake, the answer must be the LCM (lowest common multiple) of 7 and 9.

Multiples of 7: 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70...

Multiples of 9: 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90...

As you can see so far, 63 is the lowest common multiple of both 7 and 9.

Thus, the answer is 63

Answer: 63 ( but give the person above me brainliest because they explained it better )

Step-by-step explanation:

If the cakes have the same amount of slices then we must find the lowest common multiple which is 63

So both cakes have 63 slices

Answers

this should help you on how to get the zeros and the answer for the bottom question is A
In other terms, once factored, you can set each parenthesis equal to zero. So like for (x-1), you set to zero, and solve. This gives factors. If the x is outside of parenthesis, like the -4x, then there is a root of zero.

In this case. Factor by grouping, then you will have several parenthesis multiplied by each other. Set each to zero

45 degrees. A triangle should add up to 180 degrees. So 76+59+?=180. The ? Is 45 so that is your answer. Another way is to take 180 and subtract 59 and 76 which will leave you with 45.
Following the Triangle Sum Theorem, the three angles in a triangle must sum up to 180°.

Therefore, we can create an equation to find the measure of angle 1, given the two other angles.

76+59+x=180. x=the measure of angle 1 (unknown).

135+x=180. [76+59=135]

135-135+x=180-135 [Isolate x by subtracting 135 from both sides]

x=45.

Therefore, the angle measure of angle 1 = 45°

One research study of illegal drug use among​ 12- to​ 17-year-olds reported a decrease in use​ (from 11.4% in​ 1997) to ​9.8% now. Suppose a survey in a large high school reveals​ that, in a random sample of 1046 ​students, report using illegal drugs. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the​ principal's claim that illegal drug use in her school is below the current national average.

Answers

Using the z-distribution, it is found that since the test statistic is more than the critical value for the left-tailed test, it is found that there is not enough evidence to conclude that illegal drug use in her school is below the current national average.

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if drug use in her school is not below the national average, that is:

[tex]H_0: p \geq 0.098[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if it is below, that is:

[tex]H_1: p < 0.098[/tex]

The test statistic is given by:

[tex]z = \frac{\overline{p} - p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}[/tex]

In which:

[tex]\overline{p}[/tex] is the sample proportion. p is the proportion tested at the null hypothesis. n is the sample size.

93 out of 1046 reported using illegal drugs, hence the parameters are:

[tex]n = 1046, \overline{p} = \frac{93}{1046} = 0.0889, p = 0.098[/tex]

Hence, the value of the test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{\overline{p} - p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{0.0889 - 0.098}{\sqrt{\frac{0.098(0.902)}{1046}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = -0.99[/tex]

The critical value for a left-tailed test, as we are testing if the proportion is less than a value, is [tex]z^{\ast} = -1.645[/tex]

Since the test statistic is more than the critical value for the left-tailed test, it is found that there is not enough evidence to conclude that illegal drug use in her school is below the current national average.

What is the equation of a horizontal ellipse with a major axis = 12 and a minor axis = 10?

Answers

The equation of the horizontal ellipse is [tex]\frac{x^2}{144}+\frac{y^2}{100}=1[/tex]

Ellipse is a plane curve surrounding two focal points, such that for all points on the curve, the sum of the two distances to the focal points is a constant.

The standard form of an ellipse with horizontal major axis is:

[tex]\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1[/tex]

Where a > b

since a = 12, b = 10, hence:
