they are giving you the answer AB=AC, so what that means is that the angles are congruent to each other so if angle AC=15 and angle DC=5 all the angles will be the same.
Answer:
if im not mistaken its 143
Answer: 124
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply 320 by 3/5 (.6) and you will get 192. Then you subtract 320 by 47 and get 316. You subtract 192 from 316 and get 124.
From the astronaut to the horizon is a tangent line to the curvature of the earth. And from that point on the horizon to the center of the earth is at a right angle to the tangent and is equal to the radius of the earth...so we can say
cosα=r/(r+h) where r is the radius of the earth and h is the height above the surface of the earth...
α=arccos(r/(r+h))
now tanα=d/r where d is the distance from the astronaut to the point on the horizon so:
tan(arccos(r/(r+h))=d/r
d=rtan(arccos(r/(r+h))) and using r≈4000 and h=50 we get:
d=4000tan(arccos(4000/(4050)))
d≈634.42mi
d≈634 mi (to nearest mile)
