check my work

OpenStudy (word2):

Two boats start their journey from the same point A and travel along directions AC and AD, as shown below What is the distance, CD, between the boats? 284.3 ft 115.5 ft 230.9 ft >173.2 ft

OpenStudy (word2):

tan (30) = BD /100 tan (60) = BC/ 100

OpenStudy (word2):

BD-BC= CD

OpenStudy (word2):

100 SQT 3 = 173.205

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

attention please !!! tan 30 = 100/BD and the second is invers too

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

the tan law say opposite divide adjacent

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

@TheSmartOne please

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ok. ? correct it please

OpenStudy (word2):

(100 sqrt 3) -(100/sqrt3) = 116.2

OpenStudy (word2):

i think this would be correct

OpenStudy (word2):

i mean 115.47

OpenStudy (word2):

@agent0smith

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

tan30=100/BD tan60 = 100/BC BD = 100/tan30 BC = 100/tan60 CD = BD -BC = 100/tan30 - 100/tan60 do you can solve it this now please ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

tan30 = (sqrt3)/3 tan60 = sqrt3

OpenStudy (word2):

thats what i did . tan 30 = \[\sqrt{3/(3)} = \sqrt{3}\] tan 60 = \[\sqrt{3}\]

OpenStudy (word2):

so then \[100 \sqrt{3}\] \[100/ \sqrt{3}\]

OpenStudy (word2):

173.205- 57.735 = 115.47

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

300/sqrt3 -100/sqrt3 = 200/sqrt3 = 200*sqrt3 /3 = 200*1,73 /3 = 346/3 = 115,3 so CD = 115,3 approximately like my result so i think is right now ok. ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

Smith do you agree this ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

please

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ty

OpenStudy (word2):

i don't really understand what you did but we got the same answer. although mines was a bit more accurate

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

100/(sqrt3 /3) = 300/sqrt3 yes ?

OpenStudy (word2):

were did you get the 300 from?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

100/sqrt3 /3 = (100*3)/sqrt3 yes ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

a/(b/c) = ac/b

OpenStudy (word2):

ok

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

do you understand it now ? just i ve wrote there directly

OpenStudy (word2):

nope , i only get it the way i did it. however i'm going to go with 115.47. i think this is right.

OpenStudy (word2):

thank you for the help . it was correct

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

np was my pleasure good luck bye bye
