A shoreline observation post is located on a cliff such that the observer is 280 feet above sea level. The observer spots a ship approaching the shore and the ship is traveling at a constant speed.
Requried:
a. When the observer initially spots the ship, the angle of depression for the observer's vision is 6 degrees. At this point in time, how far is the ship from the shore?
b. After watching the ship for 43 seconds, the angle of depression for the observer's vision is 16 degrees. At this point in time, how far is the ship from the shore?
Using the slope concept, it is found that the distances from the shore at each moment are given by:
a) 2664 feet.
b) 976 feet.
What is a slope?The slope is given by the vertical change divided by the horizontal change, and it's also the tangent of the angle of depression.
Item a:
The vertical distance is of 280 feet, with an angle of 6º. The distance from the shore is the horizontal distance of x. Hence:
[tex]\tan{6^\circ} = \frac{280}{x}[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{280}{\tan{6^\circ}}[/tex]
x = 2664.
Item b:
The vertical distance is of 280 feet, with an angle of 16º. The distance from the shore is the horizontal distance of x. Hence:
[tex]\tan{16^\circ} = \frac{280}{x}[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{280}{\tan{16^\circ}}[/tex]
x = 976.

What is one way to determine if two fractions are equivalent?
Answer
Two fractions are equivalent fractions when they represent the same part of a whole. Since equivalent fractions do not always have the same numerator and denominator, one way to determine if two fractions are equivalent is to find a common denominator and rewrite each fraction with that denominator.
The length of a rectangle is six times its width.
If the perimeter of the rectangle is 84 in, find its area.
Answer:
6yd=W The width of the rectangle is 6 yards. L=6W=6(6yd)=36 yards The length is 36 yards. A=36yd*6yd=216 sq yd ANSWER: The area is 216 square yards...The area of a given rectangle is 216 square inches.
Given that, the perimeter of the rectangle is 84 inches.
We need to find the area of a rectangle.
What is the perimeter of a rectangle?The perimeter of a rectangle is the total distance of its outer boundary. It is twice the sum of its length and width and it is calculated with the help of the formula: Perimeter = 2(length + width).
Let the width of a rectangle be x.
Given, that the length of a rectangle is six times its width. So, length=6x.
Now, 84=2(6x+x)
⇒14x=84
⇒x=6 inches
Then, length=6x=36 inches.
Area of a rectangle= Length×width=36×6=216 square inches
Therefore, the area of a given rectangle is 216 square inches.

PT=3x+3 and TQ=6x-6
Use the figure to the right to find the value of PT. T is the midpoint of PQ
Answer:
PT = 12 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
PT=3x+3 and TQ=6x-6
T is the midpoint of PQ.
If T is mindpoint of PQ, it means,
PT = TQ
Substitute all the values,
3x+3 = 6x-6
Taking like terms together,
3x-6x = -6-3
-3x = -9
x = 3
So,
PT = 3x+3
= 3(3) + 3
= 9+3
= 12
So, the value of PT is equal to 12 units.

In the figure, KP = 50, KQ = 45, PQ = 38. What is RQ?
Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the diagram attached
From the diagram
PR + RQ = PQ
PR + RQ = 38
PR = 38 - RQ
using similar triangle;
KQ/RQ = KP/PR
45/RQ = 50/38-RQ
Cross multiply
50RQ = 45(38-RQ)
50RQ = 1710 - 45RQ
50RQ + 45RQ = 1710
95RQ = 1710
RQ = 1710/95
RQ = 18
Hence the length of RQ is 18

answer : 3
step by step:
this may seem hard but it is easy.
the first thing to do is to look at the bottom of the shape it shows a right triangle that is missing the hypotenuse lets see how to solve for that:
name the hypotenuse x
then write the equation
x^2= 6^2 + 6^2
x^2= 72
take both the square root of them
x = 8.5
next part is the rectangle and we see that it has been split into 2 right triangles which are the same but the cool part is that if we solve for one of the triangles we solve for the other we are going to do the same steps again notice now we are solving for the right angle that's not labeled if we solve that then that means we solve for the other triangle that is labelled x
first off we know that the hypotenuse is 9 and one angle is 8.5 so here is the equation:
x^2 = 9^2 - 8.5^2
x^2 = 8.75
take square root of both
x = 3

A researcher uses an independent-measures t test to evaluate the mean difference between two treatments and obtains t(12) = 4.00. If the researcher had used an ANOVA to evaluate the data, what F-ratio would be obtained?
a. F(1, 11) = 2.00
b. F(1, 12) = 16.00
c. F(1, 12) = 2.00
d. F(1, 11) = 16.00
Answer:
B). F(1, 12) = 16.00
Step-by-step explanation:
'ANOVA' is a measure employed for 'analysis of a variance' in a given set of data of treatments or populations. While t-test helps in comparing their means.
As per the question, the F-ratio using ANOVA would be 'F(1, 12) = 16.00.' In order to calculate the variances, the distinction among the samples. The б^2 denotes the difference of representative means which is augmented by n(in case of samples being same). So, the ratio of F(1, 12) would be б^2 i.e. 4^2 = 16 since the sample sizes are distinct. Thus, option B is the correct answer.

acute and isosceles
Answer:
acute and isosceles
Step-by-step explanation:
Define:
Acute - All angles have a measure of less than 90 degrees
Obtuse - has an angle with a measure of more than 90 degrees
Right - has an angle with a measure of 90 degrees
Scalene - no congruent side lengths or angles
Isosceles - two congruent sides and two congruent angles
Equilateral - all congruent sides and all congruent angles
Identify:
The triangle shown has angles that measure less than 90 degrees which means that it's an acute triangle
The triangle also has two congruent sides and two congruent angles which means that it's an isosceles triangle.
So we can conclude that the triangle can be identified as an acute isosceles
