sketch the situation

a trigonometric function that is a relation between the angle of elevation and the 2 sides of the rectangles is the tan

\tan \theta=\frac{opp}{adj}\tan \theta=\frac{20}{30}=\frac{2}{3}

find the inverse

\begin{gathered} \tan ^{-1}(\frac{2}{3})=\theta \\ \theta=33.69º \end{gathered}

after rounding the angle of elevation is 34º.

5. The recursive algorithm given below can be used to compute gcd(a, b) where a and b are non-negative integer, not both zero.
s2008m [1.1K]

Implementating the given algorithm in python 3, the greatest common divisors of <em>(</em><em>124</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>244</em><em>)</em><em> </em>and <em>(</em><em>4424</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>2111</em><em>)</em><em> </em>are 4 and 1 respectively.

The program implementation is given below and the output of the sample run is attached.

def gcd(a, b):

<em>#initialize</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>function</em><em> </em><em>named</em><em> </em><em>gcd</em><em> </em><em>which</em><em> </em><em>takes</em><em> </em><em>in</em><em> </em><em>two</em><em> </em><em>parameters</em><em> </em>

if a>b:

<em>#checks</em><em> </em><em>if</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>greater</em><em> </em><em>than</em><em> </em><em>b</em>

return gcd (b, a)

<em>#if</em><em> </em><em>true</em><em> </em><em>interchange</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>Parameters</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>Recall</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>function</em><em> </em>

elif a == 0:

return b

elif a == 1:

return 1

elif((a%2 == 0)and(b%2==0)):

<em>#even</em><em> </em><em>numbers</em><em> </em><em>leave</em><em> </em><em>no</em><em> </em><em>remainder</em><em> </em><em>when</em><em> </em><em>divided</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>checks</em><em> </em><em>if</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>b</em><em> </em><em>are</em><em> </em><em>even</em><em> </em>

return 2 * gcd(a/2, b/2)

elif((a%2 !=0) and (b%2==0)):

<em>#checks</em><em> </em><em>if</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>odd</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>B</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>even</em><em> </em>

return gcd(a, b/2)

else :

return gcd(a, b-a)

<em>#since</em><em> </em><em>it's</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>recursive</em><em> </em><em>function</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>it</em><em> </em><em>recalls</em><em> </em><em>the function</em><em> </em><em>with </em><em>new</em><em> </em><em>parameters</em><em> </em><em>until</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>certain</em><em> </em><em>condition</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>satisfied</em><em> </em>

print(gcd(124, 244))

print()

<em>#leaves</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>space</em><em> </em><em>after</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>first</em><em> </em><em>output</em><em> </em>

print(gcd(4424, 2111))

How far can a plane fly if it flies at a rate of 170 miles per hour for 4 hours?
Colt1911 [192]
The relationship between space, time and velocity for a uniform motion is given by:
S=vt
where
S is the distance covered
t is the time
v is the velocity

The plane in our problem has a velocity of
v=170 m/h
and so during a total time of t=4 h, the distance it covers is
S=vt=(170 m/h)(4 h)=680 mi
therefore, 680 miles.
