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

What are the differences between 0.08 and 0.8
Anon25 [30]
0.8 is greater than 0.08, the reason for that is that 0.8 is equal to 8/10=80/100 and 0.08 is equal to 8/100. As a percentage, 0.8 would be 80% and 0.08 would be equal to 8%.

Janet makes homemade dolls. Currently, she produces 23 dolls per month. If she increased her production by 18%, how many dolls w
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

First, calculate 18% of 23.

23 x 0.18 = 4.14

Then, add this value (the increase) to the original value of 23.

23 + 4.14 = 27.14

Rounding off, we get 27.

What can you divide a2b5 by to get a quotient of 1?
Kitty [74]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a^2b^5

Step-by-step explanation:

Anything divided by itself is 1.

That is, anything multiplied by its reciprocal is 1. This value (the reciprocal of the expression) is called the "multiplicative inverse." Its value is that the product of an expression and its multiplicative inverse is 1, the multiplicative identity element. (Anything times 1 is itself.)

So, to get 1 as a product, multiply by 1/(a^2b^5), which is to say, divide by a^2b^5 to get 1 as a quotient.
