slope is rise over run.

Which segments from each triangle represent rise and which represent run?

little triangle: rise is BD and run is DA

big triangle: rise is CE and run is EA

Answer: D \frac{BD}{DA} = \frac{CE}{EA}

To aid in sea navigation, Little Gull Island Lighthouse shines a light from a height of 91 feet above sea level with an unknown
algol13

Answer:

\approx 6^\circ

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Little Gull Island Lighthouse shines a light from a height of 91 feet above the sea level.

The angle of depression is unknown.

Distance of the point at sea surface from the base of lighthouse is 865 ft.

This situation can be modeled or can be represented as the figure attached in  the answer area.

The situation can be represented by a right angled \triangle ABC in which we are given the base and the height of the triangle.

And we have to find the value of \angle BAD \ or \ \angle C (Because they are the internal vertically opposite angles).

Using tangent ratio:

tan\theta = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}

tanC = \dfrac{AC}{BC}\\\Rightarrow tanC = \dfrac{91}{865}\\\Rightarrow tanC = 0.105\\\Rightarrow \angle C \approx 6^\circ

Therefore, the angle of depression is: \approx 6^\circ

What is the value angle marked x?
Anton [14]

Answer: x =104

Step-by-step explanation:

If we draw the black line shown in the figure, two isosceles triangles are formed, and the base angles of the isosceles triangles are the same. The red angles are the same and the green ones too. The 104 degree angle is the sum of the red angle and the green angle, and x is also the sum of the red angle and the green angle, therefore x = 104.

the local volleyball team hosts a concession stand to raise money. They can spend $120 to purchase popcorn, candy, and drinks. t
Art [367]
To solve this question, I did an equation:
0.75x + 1.20y = 120
0.75(95) + 1.20(35) = 120
Then multiply:
71.25 + 42 = 120
Now to check:
71.25 + 42 = 113.25
Answer: 120 - 113.25 = $6.75 Hope this helps

Kryger [21]

Answer:

2.35 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment for visual understanding.

We are told that the library is 1.75 miles directly north from the school and the park is 0.6 miles directly south of the school.

To find distance between library and park we will add distance of library from school to the distance of park from school.

(1.75+0.6)\text{ miles}=2.35\text{ miles}  

Therefore, library is 2.35 miles away from park.
