x = 69.30 m

Step-by-step explanation:

By the alternate angle principle, the value of angle of depression from the top of the cliff to the boat is equal to the angle of elevation from the boat to the top of the cliff (i.e 64º).

Let the horizontal distance between the base of the cliff and the boat be represented by x. Applying the appropriate trigonometric function, we have;

Tan θ = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

Tan 64º = $\frac{142}{x}$

2.0503 = $\frac{142}{x}$

x = $\frac{142}{2.0503}$

x = 69.2582

x = 69.30 m

The horizontal distance between the base of the cliff and the boat is 69.30 m.

"it's not the heat, it's the humidity". that's a partly valid phrase you may have heard in the summer, but it's actually both. the heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature. this has important considerations for the human body's comfort. when the body gets too hot, it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off. if the perspiration is not able to evaporate, the body cannot regulate its temperature. evaporation is a cooling process. when perspiration is evaporated off the body, it effectively reduces the body's temperature. when the atmospheric moisture content (i.e. relative humidity) is high, the rate of perspiration from the body decreases. in other words, the human body feels warmer in humid conditions. the opposite is true when the relative humidity decreases because the rate of perspiration increases. the body actually feels cooler in arid conditions. there is direct relationship between the air temperature and relative humidity and the heat index, meaning as the air temperature and relative humidity increase (decrease), the heat index increases (decreases).
