The elevation of the plane is 3600 ft

Let

  • h = elevation of plane,
  • d = distance from Marsha's house to spot on ground below plane = 3600 feet and
  • Ф = angle of elevation of plane = 45°

From the triangle, we have the trigonometric ratio

tanФ = h/D

<h3>Elevation of the plane</h3>

Making h subject of the formula, we have

h = DtanФ

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

h = DtanФ

h = 3600 ft × tan45°

h = 3600 ft × 1

h = 3600 ft

So, the elevation of the plane is 3600 ft

1/2x + 1/3y = 7
pashok25 [27]

let's multiply both sides in each equation by the LCD of all fractions in it, thus doing away with the denominator.

\begin{cases} \cfrac{1}{2}x+\cfrac{1}{3}y&=7\\\\ \cfrac{1}{4}x+\cfrac{2}{3}y&=6 \end{cases}\implies \begin{cases} \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{6}}{6\left( \cfrac{1}{2}x+\cfrac{1}{3}y \right)=6(7)}\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{12}}{12\left( \cfrac{1}{4}x+\cfrac{2}{3}y\right)=12(6)} \end{cases}\implies \begin{cases} 3x+2y=42\\ 3x+8y=72 \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf \stackrel{\textit{using elimination}}{ \begin{array}{llll} 3x+2y=42&\times -1\implies &\begin{matrix} -3x \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~-2y=&-42\\ 3x+8y-72 &&~~\begin{matrix} 3x \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~+8y=&72\\ \cline{3-4}\\ &&~\hfill 6y=&30 \end{array}} \\\\\\ y=\cfrac{30}{6}\implies \blacktriangleright y=5 \blacktriangleleft \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

Use scientific notation to estimate the number of inches in 1,225 miles
madam [21]
First, find the number of inches
<span>1225 Miles = 77616000 Inches

then, move the decimal to until you have a ones place.    </span>
<span>77616000.    the decimal for this number moves to the left SEVEN places.
you end up with 7.7616000
</span>
it will look like this:

7.8 * 10^7

I rounded to the .8 because you didn't state how many significant figures, but it could easily be 7.76 * 10^7

the exponent above the 10 will tell you how many places to move. to get back to your original number, move it back to the right seven places. Of course, you would have to place hold the numbers with 0s. If it were negative, you would move the decimal the opposite way.

3 equivalent fractions for 9/7
yawa3891 [41]
To find three equivalent fractions of a fraction, simply multiply the fraction by a common factor.

For example, multiple both the numerator and denominator of 9/7 by 2.
This will give you a fraction of 18/14, which is equivalent.

You can do this with any number you like to create three equivalent fractions.
