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

expeople1 [14]

no. of boys : no.of girls

100 : 140

to get the simplest ratio you gotta divide both with a common factor

Because both 100 and 140 share a common factor of 20

the simplest ratio will be

100/20 : 140/20

5:7

5:7 is the simplest ratio
