What is the distance between two boats that are in a straight line from the base of a vertical cliff that is 36m high and their angles of depression are 17 degrees and 25 degrees respectively?

Use trigonometry to find the distance of each boat from the cliff's base and subtracting both distances gives a distance of 40.5 meters between them to 1 d.p.

Witch way does the vertical axis goes?
The vertical y axis on the Cartesian plane goes straight upwards
What is the vertical distance between two points called?
The difference in the y coordinates would be your vertical separation.
Which way is vertical?
Vertical is up and down, and horizontal is left to right.
How can you tell if a slope is zero or undefined?
A slope is 0 if it is a straight horizontal line. A slope is undefined if it is a straight vertical line.
Is Rise the vertical change between any two points on a line?
Yes. Slope is the distance between two different points, expressed as rise over run. The rise is the vertical distance and the run is the horizontal distance.
The distance from point a to b on a grid?
The answer depends on the grid. On the taxicab grid, which was studied by Minkowski, the distance is the sum of the vertical and horizontal distances between a and b. See, for example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxicab_geometryIf, a and b have horizontal and vertical coordinates which are, respectively, (xa, ya) and (xb, yb) then the grid distance is abs(xa - ya) + abs(xb - yb).
How would you describe the slope of a graph showing fast speed?
If it is distance from a point versus time, with distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis, it would show a steep vertical climb on the graph. The steeper vertical change, the faster, but never completely vertical. Large "rise" (distance) over short "run" (time). With 0 acceleration, the graph is a straight line.
What is a vertical force?
The forces acting in a vertical direction or in a straight direction is called vertical force
Why is it not possible for any part of the distance-time graph of a body to be a straight-line segment parallel to the distance axis?
BecAuse that would mean it is going an infinite speed. The slope of a distance time graph is the objects velocity or speed. If there is a line parallel to the distance axis, there is a vertical line. The slope of a vertical line is infinite. It is not possible to go an infinite speed.
The x-axis and y-axis are respectively the?
horizontal and vertical axes
What is meant by x and y forces?
Horizontal and Vertical forces respectively.
Can a straight angle be vertical?
yes.
A graph shows distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axisif the speed is steadily increasing what will the line representing speed look like on the graph?
If a graph shows distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis, and the speed is steadily increasing, the line representing speed will be a straight line.
What is a vertical edge?
A vertical edge is A line that go straight up and down
What is the vertical word?
for example a straight line.(is it straight up and down)
When graphing rise over run and there is no run how do you graph it?
If there is no run, the equation is of the form x = c where c is some constant number. In that case, the graph is a straight vertical line, at a distance c to the right of the y-axis (left of the y-axis if c is negative). If there is no run, the equation is of the form x = c where c is some constant number. In that case, the graph is a straight vertical line, at a distance c to the right of the y-axis (left of the y-axis if c is negative). If there is no run, the equation is of the form x = c where c is some constant number. In that case, the graph is a straight vertical line, at a distance c to the right of the y-axis (left of the y-axis if c is negative). If there is no run, the equation is of the form x = c where c is some constant number. In that case, the graph is a straight vertical line, at a distance c to the right of the y-axis (left of the y-axis if c is negative).
Which part of a cube is vertical?
Every edge that is pointing straight up and down is vertical.
