A helicopter is sighted at the same time by two ground observers who are 5 miles apart, both ahead of the helicopter and in its direction of travel. They report angles of elevation of 19.5° and 31.2° to the helicopter. Find the distance from the helicopter to the further observer, to the nearest tenth of a mile.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance from the helicopter to the further observer is:

d = 12.77 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The observer with 19.5° of elevation will be denoted by 1

The observer with 31.2° of elevation will be denoted by 2.

Here we have two right triangles. Both of them have the same opposite sides, so will be useful to use the tangent function.

For the second observer:

[tex]tan(31.2)=\frac{h}{x}[/tex] (1)

Where:

h is the opposite sidex is the adjacent side (distance from the observer 2 to the point where the angle of elevation is 90° )

For the first observer:

[tex]tan(19.5)=\frac{h}{5+x}[/tex] (2)

Where:

h is the opposite side5+x is the adjacent side (distance from the observer 1 to the 90° elevation point, 5 miles is the distance between observes )

Let's find x from equations (1) and (2). Both of them have the variable "h" so we can equal these equations.

[tex]xtan(31.2)=(5+x)tan(19.5)[/tex]

[tex]x(tan(31.2)-tan(19.5))=5tan(19.5)[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{5tan(19.5)}{tan(31.2)-tan(19.5)}[/tex]

[tex]x=7.04\: miles[/tex]

Now, if we use the right triangle with 19.5° of elevation, the hypotenuse will be the distance from the helicopter and the further observer (let's call d).

Let's use the cosine function to find d.

[tex]cos(19.5^{\cric})=\frac{5+x}{d}[/tex]

[tex]d=\frac{5+7.04}{cos(19.5^{\cric})}[/tex]

[tex]d=12.77\: miles[/tex]

I hope it helps you!

please answer correctly !!!!! Will mark Brianliest !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answers

Answer:

∠ G ≈ 8.3°

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle

tan G = [tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{HI}{GI}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1.1}{7.5}[/tex] , then

∠ G = [tex]tan^{-1}[/tex] ([tex]\frac{1.1}{7.5}[/tex] ) ≈ 8.3° ( to the nearest tenth )

a shipement of 14 microwave ovens contains six defective units A vending company has ordered 4 of these units and selection will be random, what is the probability that all 4 units are good

Answers

Answer:

The probability that all 4 units are good is 10.66%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a shipement of 14 microwave ovens contains six defective units, and a vending company has ordered 4 of these units and selection will be random, to determine what is the probability that all 4 units are good the following calculation must be performed:

14 - 6 = 8

8/14 x 8/14 x 8/14 x 8/14 = X

0.5714 x 0.5714 x 0.5714 x 0.5714 = X

0.1066 = X

0.1066 x 100 = 10.66

Therefore, the probability that all 4 units are good is 10.66%.

what is the area of triangle EDF?

Answers

Answer:

4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

∠BAC ~ ∠EDF means that the triangles are similar. So the legs of the triangle share the same proportions, even if the sizes are different.

Since they share the same proportions, the same operations can be performed on each base to find the area.

The answer can be found with the knowledge that the area of a triangle is half of the height * width. You know the width of ∠BAC is 4, and the area is 8, so 16 (the area doubled) / 4 is the height. The width and height of ∠BAC are the same, and since the proportions are also the same, the width and height of ∠EDF are both 3. So the area is the width (3) times the height (3) divided by 2.

3*3 = 9

9/2 = 4.5

So the area is 4.5

i want to fined out the digree of polynomial 5 x^4 + 3 x^2 + 1

Answers

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of a monomial contained within the polynomial. The degree of the monomial is the sum of the exponents on the variables. Example, the degree of -4x^6y is 6+1=7.

Example, the degree of 4x^8 is 8.

So the degree of 5x^4 is 4.

The degree of 3x^2 is 2.

The degree of 1 is 0 since there is no variable in this expression.

So the degree of 5 x^4 + 3 x^2 + 1 is 4.

Stephen is merging onto a highway. The increase in Stephen's speed for the first 8 seconds can be described by the function f(t)=t2+13t, where t is time in seconds. Which is the average rate of change of f(t) between t=2 and t=6?

Answers

Answer:

21m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change is expressed as;

A(t) = f(b) - f(a)/b-a

a = 2, b = 6

f(2) = 2² + 13(2)

f(2) = 4 + 26

f(2) = 30

f(6) = 6² + 13(6)

f(6) = 36 + 78

f(6)= 114

b- a = 6-2

b-a = 4

Substitute;

A(t) = 114 - 30/4

A(t) = 84/4

A(t) = 21

Hence the average rateof change is 21m/s

You pay $3 per square foot for carpeting. Which equation can be solved to find the
amount you will pay to cover a triangular section of the floor with a base of 2 yards and
a height of 5 yards?

Answers

Answer:

3 * (½*2*5) = x

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of carpeting = $3 per square foot

We have a triangular section to cover having the following dimensions:

base = 2 yd

height = 5 yd

First, let's find the area of the section = area of triangle

Area of triangle = ½*base*height

Area of the triangular section of the floor = ½*2*5

If $3 will cover 1 ft², therefore,

x will cover ½*2*5

Thus:

3 * (½*2*5) = x

How would someone Algebraically determine X-Y intercepts?

Answers

Answer:

y-int:  -6

x-int: -2/5 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

you can find the y-intercept by substituting zero in for every 'x' in the equation;

y = 5(0) - 13(0) - 6

y = -6

to find the x-intercept(s), factor the trinomial by trying to find a pair of factors that multiply to 6 and add to -13; the factors that work are:

(5x + 2)(x - 3)

now set each factor equal to zero and solve for 'x':

5x + 2 = 0

5x = -2

x = -2/5

x - 3 = 0

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Building A is 490 feet tall and building B is 754 ft tall.

If the angle of depression from building B to the top of building A is [tex]46^{\circ}[/tex]

Difference in the height of the two buildings is [tex]754-490=264\ ft[/tex]

If the difference between them is [tex]x[/tex]

From the figure, we can write

[tex]\Rightarrow \tan 46^{\circ}=\dfrac{264}{x}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{264}{\tan 46^{\circ}}\\\\\Rightarrow x=254.94\ ft[/tex]

Therefore, the two buildings are [tex]254.94\ ft[/tex] apart.
