From the observation deck of a skyscraper, Taylor measures a 67° angle of depression
to a ship in the harbor below. If the
observation deck is 1014 feet high, what is
the horizontal distance from the base of the
skyscraper out to the ship? Round your
answer to the nearest tenth of a foot if
necessary.

Given:

Angle of depression from observation deck to a ship = 67°

Height of observation deck = 1014 feet.

To find:

The horizontal distance from the base of the skyscraper out to the ship.

Solution:

Let x be the horizontal distance from the base of the skyscraper out to the ship.

Using the given information draw a diagram as shown below.

In a right angle triangle,

For triangle ABC,

On further simplification, we get

Therefore, the horizontal distance from the base of the skyscraper out to the ship is 430.4 feet.

step-by-step explanation:

the x's and the y's both go up the same amount each time, therefore it will be a linear function because it will go in a straight line when drawn on a graph.

hope this !

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
