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

liraira [26]

Answer:

No she doesn't have enough paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to find the area of both walls then subtract both areas by 250. It would give you a negative number, meaning there is not enough paint.

Rama09 [41]
A) 25% of males preferred playing sports.

Explanation) .25 is the same is 25%.

B) 25% of the people surveyed preferred reading a book.

Explanation) You have to add up how many males and females rather
                      to read a book.  It's .10 + .15 =  25%.

C) 70 females were surveyed out of 200 people. 

Explanation)  Add up .15 + .5 + .15 to get .35.  Put .35 multiplied by 200 to                            get 70.

What is the period of the sinusoidal function
rodikova [14]

Answer:

The period of the sine curve is the length of one cycle of the curve. The natural period of the sine curve is 2π. So, a coefficient of b=1 is equivalent to a period of 2π. To get the period of the sine curve for any coefficient b, just divide 2π by the coefficient b to get the new period of the curve.

5sin²α+3cos²α / 3sin²α-5cos²α = <br> if tgα=√2
fiasKO [112]
Tgα = tan(α) = sqrt(2)/1 = opposite/ adjacent
opposite = sqrt(2)
adjacent = 1
hypotenuse = sqrt(opposite^2 + adjacent^2)
= sqrt(sqrt(2)^2 + 1^2) = sqrt(3)

sin(α) = opposite/hypotenuse
= sqrt(2)/sqrt(3)

cos(α) = adjacent/hypotenuse
= 1/sqrt(3)

now we can calculate the value of
5sin²α+3cos²α / 3sin²α-5cos²α
... do the math
