An observer on the top of a lighthouse observes the angles of depression of two ship at anchor to be 75 and 45 respectively. Find the distance between the two ships if the line joining them points to the base of the light house which is 100 meters high. (use tan 15 = 0.27) Answer should be 73 meter.

Distance between two ships = 73 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Note:

tangent = opposite / hypotenuse

Referring to diagram,

Distance of ship A from tower = 100 tan(90-45) = 100 units

Distance of ship B from tower = 100 tan(90-75) = 100 tan (27) = 27 units

Distance between two ships = 100-27 = 73 units

ummm seems that u didnt post the attachement !

the answer would be d

straight away you can eliminate a and c because not all books contain a scientific skill because some may be fiction. c is also wrong because it saids that the only way children can learn is through books which is incorrect.

b is also wrong because reading can be a scientific skill but not always, therefore it is wrong which leaves you with d, the correct answer since it said that it can children learn.

hope this ! : 3
