The distance between the plane and house 1 is 4899.2 feet

<h3>How to determine the distance between the plane and house 1?</h3>

See attachment for illustration of the question, where x represents the distance between the plane and house 1

Start by calculating the angle A using:

A = 180 - 17.5 - 18.8 ----- (angles in a triangle theorem)

This gives

A = 143.7

The distance x is then calculated using the following sine theorem

a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)

Using the parameters in the diagram, we have:

x/sin(18.8) = 9000/sin(143.7)

Multiply both sides by sin(18.8)

x= sin(18.8) * 9000/sin(143.7)

Evaluate

x = 4899.2

Hence, the distance between the plane and house 1 is 4899.2 feet

Geometry PEOPLE HELP
White raven [17]

Answer: second option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the transformation T:(x,y)→(x-5,y+3)

 You must substitute the x-coordinate of the point A (which is x=2) and the y-coordinate of the point A (which is y=-1) into (x-5,y+3) to find the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate of the image of the point A.

Therefore, you get that the image of A(2,-1) is the following:

(x-5,y+3)=(2-5,-1+3)=(-3,2)

You can observe that this matches with the second option.

Jasmine filled her bag with 12 strawberries. George filled his bag with 6 times as many strawberries as jasmine. How many strawb
Allisa [31]

Since Jasmine has 12 strawberries and George has 6 times has many, you can multiply 12 by 6 to get the number of strawberries George has in his bag.

6 x 12 = 72.

George has 72 strawberries in his bag
