A blimp is 1600 meters high in the air and measures the angles of depression to two stadiums to the east of the blimp. if those

measurements are 71.7° and 25.2°, how far apart are the two stadiums?

The two stadiums are 2,871 meters

A blimp    = point A

stadium 1  = point B

stadium 2 = point C

height of the blimp ,  AD = 1600

depression angle of stadium 1 , ∠y = 71.7°

depression angle of stadium 2 , ∠x = 25.2°

distance between the two stadiums  = d

So, it forms 2 triangles  ABD and ACD,

Using the trigonometric ratios,

tan θ = Altitude / Base

DC = AD × tan (90° - x)

= 1600 × tan( 90° - 25.2° )

= 1600 × cot(25.2°)

= 1600 × 2.13

DB = AD × tan (90° - y)

= 1600 × tan( 90° - 71.7° )

= 1600 × cot(71.7°)

= 1600 × 0.33

∴ d = DC - DB

     = 1600 * [ tan( 90° - 25.2° ) - tan( 90° - 71.7° ) ]

    = 2,871 meters

When Harvey picked up his rental compact car, the odometer read 44,341 miles. When he returned it 4 days later, it read 45,230.
Georgia [21]

Answer: daily rate = $28.99

= 28.99*4days= 115.96

Given the 50 miles being free

=0.30*50 = 15.00

= 15-115.96= 100.96

= 100.96

24<br> Find the value of x.<br> 4<br> (7x-1)<br> (6x - 1)
Lisa [10]

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines given in the picture intersect each other at a point.

Given angles are the linear pair of angles.

Since, linear pair of the angles is supplementary,

(7x - 1)° + (6x - 1)° = 180°

(7x + 6x) + (- 1 - 1) = 180

13x -2 = 180

13x = 180 + 2

x = \frac{182}{13}

x = 14

Therefore, x = 14 will be the answer.

S= 2LW + 2LH + 2WH<br> solve for W
Darina [25.2K]

Rewrite the equation as

2lw+2lh+2wh=a.2lw+2lh+2wh=a

Subtract

2lh

from both sides of the equation.

2lw+2wh=a−2lh

Factor

2w out of 2lw+2wh.

2w(|+h)=w−2lh

Divide each term by

2(l+h)

and simplify.

.w=a−2lh2(l+h)
