Answer: 4.5 miles
Explanation:
When you draw the situation you find two triangles.
1) Triangle to the east of the helicopter
a) elevation angle from the high school to the helicopter = depression angle from the helicopter to the high school = 20°
b) hypotensue = distance between the high school and the helicopter
c) opposite-leg to angle 20° = heigth of the helicopter
d) adyacent leg to the angle 20° = horizontal distance between the high school and the helicopter = x
2) triangle to the west of the helicopter
a) elevation angle from elementary school to the helicopter = depression angle from helicopter to the elementary school = 62°
b) distance between the helicopter and the elementary school = hypotenuse
c) opposite-leg to angle 62° = height of the helicopter
d) adyacent-leg to angle 62° = horizontal distance between the elementary school and the helicopter = 5 - x
3) tangent ratios
a) triangle with the helicpoter and the high school
tan 20° = Height / x ⇒ height = x tan 20°
b) triangle with the helicopter and the elementary school
tan 62° = Height / (5 - x) ⇒ height = (5 - x) tan 62°
c) equal the height from both triangles:
x tan 20° = (5 - x) tan 62°
x tan 20° = 5 tan 62° - x tan 62°
x tan 20° + x tan 62° = 5 tan 62°
x (tan 20° + tan 62°) = 5 tan 62°
⇒ x = 5 tant 62° / ( tan 20° + tan 62°)
⇒ x = 4,19 miles
=> height = x tan 20° = 4,19 tan 20° = 1,525 miles
4) Calculate the hypotenuse of this triangle:
hipotenuese ² = x² + height ² = (4.19)² + (1.525)² = 19.88 miles²
hipotenuse = 4.46 miles
Rounded to the nearest tenth = 4.5 miles
That is the distance between the helicopter and the high school.
Answer:
-8=2x-y get this into y=mx+b form to find the y-intercept
-y=-2x-8
y=2x+8
the y-intercept is 8 so it passes through (0,8)
to find the x-intercept, set y to equal zero
0=2x+8
-8=2x
x=-4
the x-intercept is -4 so it passes through (-4,0)
the slope is 2 based on the slope-intercept form
Answer:
a) C(d) = 37.95 + 0.62d
b) C(74) = 37.95 + 0.62(74)
83.8 dollars
c) 8181 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The company charges a fee of 37.95 just for the rent and then 0.62 dollars per mile.
So if one person travels one mile they will pay:
37.95 + 0.62
Two miles: 37.95 + 0.62 (2)
Three miles: 37.95 + 0.62 (3)
d miles: 37.95 + 0.62(d)
Thus, the function C(d) that gives the total cost of renting the truck for one day if you drive d miles would be C(d) = 37.95 + 0.62d
Now, if we drive 74 miles, the function that gives us the cost would be:
C(74) = 37.95 + 0.62(74) = 37.95 + 45.88 = 83.83 = 83.8 dollars
Now, if we have 5110 dollars on our budget, we would have to substitute this in our function to know how many miles we can drive with that amount:

Thus, we could drive 8181 miles
Answer:
steps below
Step-by-step explanation:
1. It can be formed a triangle: sum of any two sides is greater than the 3rd side
2. It can't be an obtuse triangle: 5² + 7² = 74 < 10²
the triangle is an obtuse-angled triangle if the square of the longest side (c²) is greater than the sum of the square of other two sides (c²>a²+b²)
