A boat heading out to sea starts out at Point A, at a horizontal distance
of 1390 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 7º. At some later time, the crew measures the
angle of elevation from point B to be 4°. Find the distance from point
A to point B. Round your answer to the nearest foot if necessary.

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume the boat is going straight out on the same horizontal line.

we have 2 right-angled triangles.

at point A

there is the ground distance from A to the lighthouse. which is 1390 ft.

then there is the height of the lighthouse.

and the line of sight from A to the lighthouse light.

the angle at A is 7°.

the angle at the bottom of the lighthouse is 90°.

therefore, the angle at the lighthouse light = 180 - 90 - 7 = 83°.

at point B

the ground distance from B to the lighthouse.

the height of the lighthouse again.

and the line of sight of B to the lighthouse light.

the angle at B = 4°.

the angle at the lighthouse bottom is again 90°.

therefore, the Angie at the lighthouse light is 180 - 90 - 4 = 86°.

we need the law of sine to solve this and find the missing side lengths.

a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)

with the sides and the correlated angles being opposite.

the first we need to do is finding the height of the lighthouse via triangle A, so that we can use it then also in triangle B.

1390/sin(83) = height/sin(7)

lighthouse height = 1390×sin(7)/sin(83) = 170.6705397... ft

now, we can use that in triangle B to get the ground distance to the lighthouse :

height/sin(4) = ground distance/sin(86)

ground distance = height×sin(86)/sin(4) =

= 2,440.702427... ft

the distance from A to B is the difference between that ground distance and the original distance of 1390 ft :

2,440.702427... - 1390 = 1,050.702427... ft ≈

≈ 1,051 ft

A cheetah can run at its top speed for about 25 seconds. Complete the table to represent a cheetah running at a constant speed. explain your reasoning

Hurry please I need it ASAP!!

Answers

x = 650 + 60t

The cheetah must arrive at the same place at the same time:

x = 90t

650 + 60t = 90t

30t = 650

t = 650/30 ≅ 21.7 s

It takes the cheetah a little more than 20 s running at 90 ft/s to reach the moving antelope, so assuming the antelope can maintain its speed of 60, it is safe.

Find the required table attached

Since the speed of the Cheetah is constant, this means that the speed must be the same all through in the table.

To get the unknown time and distance, we will have to use the formula below:

Speed = Distance/Time = kWhen distance = 120m, time = 4secs

Speed = 120/4 = k

Speed = 30m/s = k

We are to get the distance when the time is 25secs

Speed = Distance/Time

30 = d₂/25

d₂ = 30 × 25

d₂ = 750 m

To get the time in the third column

Time = Distance/Speed

t₃ = 270/30

t₃ = 9seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles along a line total 180°. So, your equation for ∠K is ...

  60° +40° +∠K = 180°

  ∠K = 180° -100° = 80°

Similarly, ...

  ∠M = 180° -∠K = 100°

Additional comment

Together, the 60° and 40° angles make a 100° angle that is vertical to (and congruent with) ∠M. Recognizing that, you know ∠M = 100°. ∠P is a vertical angle with ∠K, so will have the same measure, 80°.

what is 1 +1 pls HELP

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Subject: Re: Need the math proof for 1 + 1 = 2

The proof starts from the Peano Postulates, which define the natural

numbers N. N is the smallest set satisfying these postulates:

P1. 1 is in N.

P2. If x is in N, then its "successor" x' is in N.

P3. There is no x such that x' = 1.

P4. If x isn't 1, then there is a y in N such that y' = x.

P5. If S is a subset of N, 1 is in S, and the implication

(x in S => x' in S) holds, then S = N.

Then you have to define addition recursively:

Def: Let a and b be in N. If b = 1, then define a + b = a'

(using P1 and P2). If b isn't 1, then let c' = b, with c in N

(using P4), and define a + b = (a + c)'.

Then you have to define 2:

Def: 2 = 1'

2 is in N by P1, P2, and the definition of 2.

Theorem: 1 + 1 = 2

Proof: Use the first part of the definition of + with a = b = 1.

Then 1 + 1 = 1' = 2 Q.E.D.

Note: There is an alternate formulation of the Peano Postulates which

replaces 1 with 0 in P1, P3, P4, and P5. Then you have to change the

definition of addition to this:

Def: Let a and b be in N. If b = 0, then define a + b = a.

If b isn't 0, then let c' = b, with c in N, and define

a + b = (a + c)'.

You also have to define 1 = 0', and 2 = 1'. Then the proof of the

Theorem above is a little different:

Proof: Use the second part of the definition of + first:

1 + 1 = (1 + 0)'

Now use the first part of the definition of + on the sum in

parentheses: 1 + 1 = (1)' = 1' = 2 Q.E.D.

What is Volume?

Volume of a three dimensional shape is the space occupied by the shape.

Given a container.

A triangular prism consists of two triangular bases and three rectangular faces.

The given container is a right triangular prism.

Volume of a triangular prism = Base area × Length of the prism.

Base area = Area of right triangle
