Aperson is watching a boat from the top of a lighthouse. the boat is approaching the lighthouse directly. when first noticed, the angle of depression to the boat is 18°33'. when the boat stops, the angle of depression is 51°33'. the lighthouse is 200 feet tall. how far did the boat travel from when it was first noticed until it stopped? round your answer to the hundredths place.

55.44 inches

step-by-step explanation:

part a. assuming a perfectly linear relationship, we can find the slope from the first two data points.

slope = m = (change in rainfall)/(change in years)

= (61.80 -62.33)/(2005 -2004) = -0.53/1 = -0.53

then the point-slope form of the equation of the line can be written as

y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . m = -0.53, (h, k) = (0, 62.33)

y = -0.53x +62.33 . . . x = years after 2004

part b. in 2017, x = 2017 -2004 = 13. then the predicted rainfall is

y = -0.53·13 +62.33 = 55.44 . . inches

the predicted rainfall in 2017 is 55.44 in.
