The altitude of the plane is 8 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
we know that
In the right triangle ABC
tan(72°)=h/x
h=xtan(72°) -----> equation A
In the right triangle ABD
tan(55°)=h/(x+3)
h=(x+3)tan(55°) -----> equation B
equate equation A and equation B and solve for x
xtan(72°)=(x+3)tan(55°)
xtan(72°)-xtan(55°)=3tan(55°)
x[tan(72°)-tan(55°)]=3tan(55°)
x=3tan(55°)/[tan(72°)-tan(55°)]
Find the value of h
h=xtan(72°)
h=[3tan(55°)*tan(72°)]/[tan(72°)-tan(55°)]
h=8 miles
The height of a ball over time after someone has thrown it. Height vs time
The answer is (-1,7)
I got this answer because to solve a system, you find the point on the graph where both lines intersect. And that point in this graph is (-1,7). Hope this helps!:)))))
Answer:
slope: -3
y-int: (0,-5)
hope this helps!!:)
