An observer (O) spots a plane flying at a 55° angle to his horizontal line of sight. If the plane is flying at an altitude of 21,000 ft., what is the distance (x) from the plane (P) to the observer (O)?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The givens form a right triangle. The operational definition is The opposite over the hypotenuse, where the hypotenuse is the unknown.

sin(x) = 21000/hypotenuse

sin(55) = 21000 / hypotenuse

hypotenuse * sin(55) = 21000

hypotenuse = 21000/sin(55)

hypotenuse = 25636 feet.= 26000 feet rounded.

The answer does make sense. The hypotenuse is larger than the given height.

You miss 8 questions

The first step is to calculate the number of correct questions

= 67-8

= 59

Therefore the grade can be calculated as follows

= 59/67 × 100

= 0.880 × 100

= 88%

Hence the grade is 88%

If m<TUV = (9x + 1), m<TUW = (7x-9), and m<WUV = (5x - 11), find the value of x. ​

Answers

Answer: x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose ray UW divides ∠TUV into two angles ∠ TUW and ∠ WUV.

Then, m∠TUV  = m∠ TUW + m ∠ WUV               (i)

Given,  m∠TUV  = (9x + 1) , m∠ TUW =  (7x-9) and m ∠ WUV = (5x - 11)

Substitute these values in (i), we get

[tex]9x+1=7x-9+5x-11\\\\\Rightarrow\ 9x+1= 7x+5x-9-11\\\\\Rightarrow\ 9x+1=12x-20\\\\\Rightarrow\ 12x-9x= 1+20\\\\\Rightarrow\ 3x= 21\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{21}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=7[/tex]

Hence, the value of x = 7.

Give a geometric description of the following system of equations.a. 2x−4y=12 −3x+6y=−15.b. 2x−4y=12 −5x+3y=10.a. 2x−4y=12 −3x+6y=−18.

Answers

Answer:

a. No solution, parallel lines.

b. One solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations:

a. [tex]2x-4y=12[/tex]

[tex]-3x+6y=-15[/tex]

b. [tex]2x-4y=12[/tex]

[tex]-5x+3y=10[/tex]

To give a geometric description of the given system of equations.

The geometric description of a system of equations in 2 variables mean the system of equations will represent the number of lines equal to the number of equations in the system given.

i.e.

Number of planes = Number of variables

Number of lines = Number of equations in the system.

Here, we are given 2 variables and 2 equation in each system.

So, they can be represented in the xy-coordinates plane.

And the number of solutions to the system depends on the following condition.

Let the system of equations be:

[tex]A_1x+B_1y+C_1=0\\A_2x+B_2y+C_2=0[/tex]

1. One solution:

There will be one solution to the system of equations,  If we have:

[tex]\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}\neq\dfrac{B_1}{B_2}[/tex]

2. Infinitely Many Solutions: (Identical lines in the system)

[tex]\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=\dfrac{B_1}{B_2}= \dfrac{C_1}{C_2}[/tex]

3. No Solution:(Parallel lines)

[tex]\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=\dfrac{B_1}{B_2}\neq\dfrac{C_1}{C_2}[/tex]

Now, let us discuss the system of equations one by one:

a. [tex]2x-4y=12[/tex] OR [tex]2x-4y-12=0[/tex]

[tex]-3x+6y=-15[/tex] OR [tex]-3x+6y+15=0[/tex]

[tex]A_1 = 2, B_1 = -4, C_1 = -12\\A_2 = -3, B_2 = 6, C_2= 15[/tex]

Here, the ratio:

[tex]\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=\dfrac{B_1}{B_2} = -\dfrac{2}{3}\\\dfrac{C_1}{C_2} = -\dfrac{4}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=\dfrac{B_1}{B_2}\neq\dfrac{C_1}{C_2}[/tex]

Therefore, no solution i.e. parallel lines.

b. [tex]2x-4y=12[/tex] OR [tex]2x-4y-12=0[/tex]

[tex]-5x+3y=10[/tex] OR [tex]-5x+3y-10=0[/tex]

[tex]A_1 = 2, B_1 = -4, C_1 = -12\\A_2 = -5, B_2 = 3, C_2 = -10[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}= -\dfrac{2}{5}\\\dfrac{B_1}{B_2} = -\dfrac{4}{3}\\\dfrac{C_1}{C_2} = -\dfrac{6}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}\neq\dfrac{B_1}{B_2}[/tex]

So, one solution.

That’s a Meanie Genie. On an archeological dig near the highlands of Tibet, Alley discovered an ancient oil lamp. Just for laughs she rubbed the lamp. She quickly stopped laughing when a huge puff of magenta smoke spouted from the lamp and an ornery genie Murray appeared. Murray gave her two balance scales and nine identical stones as per her three wishes. Alley may use each of the scales exactly once. Choose a possible way for Alley to select the slightly heavier stone containing Ramanujan from among the nine identical-looking stones.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Arrange the stones into 3groups of 3and place one group on one side of the first balance scale and another group on the other side.

If both sides weigh the same, then she knows that the (heavier) jewel must be in the third group of three. However, if one side is heavier than the other, then she knows that the jewel is one of the three that weighed more. In either case, after only one weighing, Alley is able to identify a group of only three stones among which is the Rama Nujan.

Then take 2 of the 3 stones and place one on each side of the second scale. If one weighs more than the other, then she knows that this stone is the one containing the jewel. If they both weigh the same, then she knows that the third stone must contain the jewel.

Find an equation for the surface obtained by rotating the line x = 6y about the x-axis.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{x^2}{36}=y^2+z^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

If we loo at the xy plane and consider the point (6y, y, 0), it looks like a circular path that is a cone as the curve is rotated about the x axis. The equation of the cone has the form:

[tex]\frac{x^2}{c^2}=\frac{y^2}{a^2}+\frac{z^2}{b^2}[/tex]

Given that x = 6y, to make the equation to be in the form as seen above, we square x = 6y, hence:

x² = (6y)²

x² = 36y²

The path parallel to yz axis are circles, so the equation should be as that of a circle. We need to add 36z², hence:

x² = 36y² + 36z²

[tex]\frac{x^2}{36}=y^2+z^2[/tex]

[tex](\frac{x}{6})^2=y^2+z^2[/tex]

This equation is that of a circle with radius of r = y = x/6, the resulting surface is that of a cone

The base of 14​-foot ladder is 6 feet from a building. If the ladder reaches the flat​ roof, how tall is the​ building?

Answers

Answer:

Approximatly 12.65

Step-by-step explanation:

You would use the pythagorean Theoram for this.

[tex]a^{2}+6^{2}=14^{2}[/tex]

[tex]a^{2}+36=196[/tex]

Subtract 36 from both sides:

[tex]a^{2}=160[/tex]

Square 160 to remove the exponent on "a":

[tex]a=\sqrt{160}[/tex]

[tex]a≈ 12.65[/tex]

If the ladder reaches the flat​ roof, then the height of the building will be 12.65 feet.

What is a right-angle triangle?

It's a form of a triangle with one 90-degree angle that follows Pythagoras' theorem and can be solved using the trigonometry function.

The Pythagoras theorem states that the sum of two squares equals the squared of the longest side.

The Pythagoras theorem formula is given as

H² = P² + B²

The base of 14​ feet ladder is 6 feet from a building. Then the length of the hypotenuse is 14 feet and the base is 6 feet. Then the height of the building will be given by the Pythagoras theorem.

If the ladder reaches the flat​ roof, then the height of the building will be

H² = P² + B²

14² = P² + 6²

196 = P² + 36

P² = 196 - 36

P² = 160

P = 12.65 feet

If the ladder reaches the flat​ roof, then the height of the building will be 12.65 feet.

I'm thinking of a number.My number is a whole number.My number is larger than 100.My number mod 17 = 9.My number is smaller than 200.What could be number be? (Give one possible answer. There are several correct answers.)

Answers

Answer:

the number could be any of these numbers (111, 128, 145, 162, 179, 196)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information, let the number that I'm thinking of to be p

p is > 100

p  is < 200

and p = 9 (mod 17)

This implies that 17 ÷ p -9

p - 9 = 17q

here;

q is an integer

p = 9 + 17q

However,

100 < p < 200

= 100 < 9+17q < 200

= 100 - 9 < 17q < 200 -9

= 91 < 17q < 191

Dividing both sides by 17; we have:

= [tex]\dfrac{91}{17}< q < \dfrac{191}{17}[/tex]

= 5.45 < q < 11.24

thus the possible values of q are between 6,7,8,9,10 and 11

The possible values of p can now be:

p = 9 +17(q)

p = 9+17(6), 9+17(7), 9+17(8), 9+17(9), 9+17(10), 9+17(11)

p = 111, 128, 145, 162, 179, 196

Therefore, the number could be any of these numbers (111, 128, 145, 162, 179, 196)
