Upon descent, an airplane is 20,000 feet above the ground. The air traffic control tower is 200 feet tall. It is determined that the angle of elevation from the top of the tower to the plane is 15°. To the nearest mile, find the ground distance from the airplane to the tower.​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Base length of plane from control tower = 73,880 feet (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height of plane from ground = 20,000 feet

Height of control tower = 200 feet

Angle of elevation from control tower = 15°

Find:

Base length of plane from control tower

Computation:

Height of plane from control tower = 20,000 - 200

Height of plane from control tower = 19,800 feet

Tan θ = Perpendicular / Base

Tan15 = 19,800 / Base length of plane from control tower

0.268 = 19,800 / Base length of plane from control tower

Base length of plane from control tower = 73,880 feet (Approx.)

Cross multiply:

264 × x = 528 × 1

264x = 528

x = 528 ÷ 264

x = 2

solve the equation for x

2/3x-1/9x+5=20

Answers

Answer:

x=27

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to isolate the variables so you subtract 5 from both sides. Therefore the equation will be 2/3x-1/9x=15. You want to take away the fraction because no one likes fractions. You have to multiply everything by 9. Therefore, the equation will be 6x-x=135. 5x=135. You want to isolate x so you have to divide each side by 5. x=135/5. Simplify to get x=27.

in a school ,the number of boys who play cricket is 3 times as much as a number of boys who play tennis. if 12 boys, who play cricket, play tennis instead, the number of boys who play each of these sports would be the same. find the number of boys who play tennis

Answers

Answer:

The number of boys who play tennis is 36.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of boys who play tennis is x.

number of boys who play cricket = y

x = 3 y..... (1)  

12 boys plays both cricket and tennis.

According to the question,

x - 12 = y + 1 2

3 y - 12 = y + 12

2 y = 24

y = 12

So, the number of boys who plays tennis is x = 3 x 12 = 36.

A lampshade has a height of 12cm and upper and lower diameters of 10cm and 20cm A)what area of material is required to cover that curved surface of the frustum B)what is the volume of the frustum (Give both answers in terms of pie)

Answers

Answer:

[tex](a)\ Area = 195\pi[/tex]

[tex](b)\ Volume = 700\pi[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]h = 12[/tex]

[tex]d_1 = 10[/tex] --- lower diameter

[tex]d_2 = 20[/tex] --- upper diameter

Solving (a): The curved surface area

This is calculated as:

[tex]Area = \pi l(r_1 + r_2)[/tex]

Where

[tex]r_1 = 0.5 * d_1 = 0.5 * 10 = 5[/tex] --- lower radius

[tex]r_2 = 0.5 * d_2 = 0.5 * 20 = 10[/tex] --- upper radius

And

[tex]l = \sqrt{h^2 + (r_1 - r_2)^2[/tex] ---- l represents the slant height of the frustrum

[tex]l = \sqrt{12^2 + (5 - 10)^2[/tex]

[tex]l = \sqrt{12^2 + (-5)^2[/tex]

[tex]l = \sqrt{144 + 25[/tex]

[tex]l = \sqrt{169[/tex]

[tex]l = 13[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]Area = \pi l(r_1 + r_2)[/tex]

[tex]Area = \pi * 13(5 + 10)[/tex]

[tex]Area = \pi * 13(15)[/tex]

[tex]Area = 195\pi[/tex]

Solving (b): The volume

This is calculated as:

[tex]Volume = \frac{1}{3}\pi * h * (r_1^2 + r_2^2 + (r_1 * r_2))[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]Volume = \frac{1}{3}\pi * 12 * (5^2 + 10^2 + (5 * 10))[/tex]

[tex]Volume = \frac{1}{3}\pi * 12 * (25 + 100 + (50))[/tex]

[tex]Volume = \frac{1}{3}\pi * 12 * (175)[/tex]

[tex]Volume = \pi *4 * 175[/tex]

[tex]Volume = 700\pi[/tex]

Given α and β are Supplementary. Show the necessary steps.

If α =3/2β then, what is α = ? and what is β = ?​

Answers

Answer:

[tex] \alpha = 108\degree, \: \beta = 72\degree [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

α and β are Supplementary (given)

[tex] \therefore \alpha + \beta = 180\degree.... (1)[/tex]

It is given that:

[tex] \alpha= \frac{3}{2} \beta[/tex]

Plugging the value of α in equation (1), we find:

[tex] \frac{3}{2} \beta + \beta = 180\degree[/tex]

[tex]\therefore \frac{3+2}{2} \beta = 180\degree[/tex]

[tex]\therefore \frac{5}{2} \beta = 180\degree[/tex]

[tex]\therefore \beta = 180\degree\times \frac{2}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\therefore \beta = 72\degree[/tex]

[tex]\implies \alpha= \frac{3}{2} \times 72\degree= 108\degree [/tex]

So,

[tex] \alpha = 108\degree, \: \beta = 72\degree [/tex]

B. y is 2 of (x + y)
C x is 1/4 of y
D. y is 3/4 of x​

Answers

Answer:

A. & B. are the corect answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

A and B

x is [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] of y

AND

y is [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of (x+y)

Step-by-step explanation:

x:y is 1:3

=>  y is bigger than x

=>  y is 3x bigger than x

=>  y = 3 lots of x

=>  [tex]y =[/tex] [tex]3x[/tex]

=>  [tex]\frac{y}{3}[/tex] [tex]= x[/tex]

=>  [tex]\frac{1}{3} y[/tex] [tex]= x[/tex]

So x is [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] of y

y is [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of (x+y)

If x = 1 and y = 3 (substitute in values)

=>  3 is [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of (4)

=>  3 is [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex](4)

=>  3 is ([tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]x4)

=>  3 = 3

Therefore, y is [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of (x+y) is true

So the answers are:

x is [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] of y

AND

y is [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of (x+y)

True

Step-by-step explanation:

As a right triangle, it follows the Pathagorem Therom. All you have to do is multiply 15 x 15 = 225 and 20 x 20 = 400, then finally, you would do 25 x 25, which is the biggest number of all, and get 625. Since 225 + 400 = 625, this follows the Pathagorem Therom.

Answer:

The slope is 1/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

So basically, when we are trying to find slope, we think of the change of y over the change of x. And so the change of y between those two points would be 4-2 which is 2. And the change of x would be 32-16, which is 16. Because slope is y/x, therefore the slope is 2/16, which is also 1/8 simplified. I hope this helps!

Answers

I think it’s 18 and I will explain how I got that

Explanation: so first I added all the marbles she took out to see the total she took out which was 50 and if she did it 90 times I need to see how much time 50 she did it more and that was so 90 divided by 50 is 1.8 and that times 10 (times because we want to see how many times the red marble would come out) and that’s 18

18 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

added all the marbles she took out to see the total she took out which was 50

if she did it 90 times I need to see how much time 50 she did it more and that was so 90 divided by 50 is 1.8 and that times 10

Solve the following quadratic function
by utilizing the square root method.
y = 25x2 - 100
x = +[?]

Answers

Answer:

x = ±√(y/25 + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression;

y = 25x² - 100

We are to make x the subject of the formula;

-25x² = -y - 100

25x²= y + 100

x² = y/25 + 100/25

x²= y/25 + 4

x = ±√(y/25 + 4)

This give the value of x
