Using the slope concept, it is found that the shuttle traveled 3.2 miles while Marion was watching.

<h3>What is a slope?</h3>

The slope is given by the <u>vertical change divided by the horizontal change</u>, and it's also the tangent of the angle of depression.

Initially, the angle of elevation is of 16º, with an elevation of 1 mi, hence:

\tan{16^\circ} = \frac{1}{x_1}

x_1 = \frac{1}{\tan{16^\circ}}

x_1 = 3.5

Then, at the end, the angle will be of 74º, with the elevation remaining constant, hence:

\tan{74^\circ} = \frac{1}{x_2}

x_2 = \frac{1}{\tan{74^\circ}}

x_2 = 0.3

The distance is:

d = x_1 - x_2 = 3.5 - 0.3 = 3.2

The shuttle traveled 3.2 miles while Marion was watching.

Answer:1,750,000,000

Step-by-step explanation:first the number ten to the fifth power is 1,000,000 then times five is 5,000,000. Then the number ten to the negative fifth power is 50 times seven is 350. 5,000,000 times 350 is 1,750,000,000

Plz help me with dis its one question
tatiyna

Answer:

Alix does. See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

<em><u>Jenny</u></em>

  • b1 = 90 cm
  • b2 = 80 cm
  • height = 23 cm

<em><u>Alex</u></em>

  • b1 = 90 cm
  • b2 = 70 cm
  • height = 27 cm

Formula

For both territories the answer is based on the formula

  • Area = (b1 + b2)*h/2

Solution

<em><u>Jenny</u></em>

  • Area = (90 + 80)23/2
  • Area = 170 * 23 / 2
  • Area = 85 * 23
  • Area = 1955 units.

<em><u>Alex</u></em>

  • Area = (70 + 90)*27/2
  • Area = 160*27 / 2
  • Area = 80* 27
  • Area = 2160

Anyone know this ???
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

? = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

?² = 5² + 12² = 25 + 144 = 169 ( take the square root of both sides )

? = \sqrt{169} = 13
