Answer:
Boat traveled 553.24 feet towards the lighthouse.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the figure attached AB is the light house of height 200 feet.
Angle of depression of the boat from the top of a lighthouse = angle of elevation of the lighthouse from the boat = 14°52'
so 1' = degree
so angle of elevation at point C = 14 +
So angle of elevation from C = (14 + 0.87) = 14.87°
Similarly, when boat arrives at point D angle of elevation = 45°10' = 45 + = 45.17°
Now we have to calculate the distance CD, traveled by the boat.
In ΔABC
tan14.87 =
0.2655 =
BC =
BC = 753.239 feet
Similarly in ΔABD
tan45.17 =
1 =
BD = 200 feet
So distance CD = BC - BD
CD = 753.239 - 200
= 553.24 feet
Therefore, Boat traveled 553.24 feet towards the lighthouse.
Definition: Triangles are congruent when they have exactly the same three sides and exactly the same three angles.
From the diagram you have that:
Triangles QRS and TUV have congruent corresponding sides and congruent corresponding angles. This means they are congruent triangles. Congruent triangles always have the same shape and the same size. Also each pair of congruent triangles is a pair of similar triangles with ratio of similarity equal to 1.
Answer: all choices are correct.
