Jack is in a helicopter and looking down at two friends’ homes. The angle of depression to the first home is 72°. The angle of d

epression to the second home is 49°. If the homes are 420m apart, what is the distance between the helicopter and the first home?

The distance between the helicopter and the first home is 369. 87 m

<h3>How to solve the distance using the angle of depression?</h3>

The distance between the helicopter and the first home can be found using sine law,

Hence,

180 - 72 - 49 = 59 degrees.

Therefore,

420 / sin 59 = A / sin 49°

where

  • A  = distance form the first home to the helicopter.

cross multiply

420 sin 49 = A sin 59°

A = 420 sin 49 / sin 59

A = 316.978023694 / 0.8571673007

A = 369.869339199

A = 369. 87 m

Therefore, the distance between the helicopter and the first home is 369. 87 m

What is the volume of the oblique cylinder rounded to the nearest cm^3?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer: 32009355.90cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula: V=Bh\\

Since the base is a circumference, we can replace B for the area of a circumference formula.

V=\pi r^2h

What we have here is 12 ft as the diameter of the circumference. A diameter is twice the radius, therefore we can conclude that if we take the diameter and divide it by 2, it will give us the radius.

12/2=6ft this is the radius.

Now plug all this information into your formula.

V=(3.14)(6ft)^2(10ft)\\V=(3.14)(36ft^2)(10ft)\\V=1130.40ft^3

Our values are in feet but the question requires cm. Let's convert from ft^3 to cm^3.

Normally, our conversion factors are raised to the power of 1, but in this case it's raised to the power of 3. So, first let's see how many cm are 1 ft.

1ft=30.48cm

Here is where magic comes. We can raise both to the power of 3, in order to find the cubic ft and cm that we need as our conversion factors.

(1ft)^3=(30.48cm)^3\\1ft^3=28316.8cm^3

Now we have our conversion factors.

1130.40ft^3(\frac{28316.84cm^3}{1ft^3})=32009355.90cm^3
