An airplane takes off from the ground and reaches a height of 500 feet after flying 2 miles. given the formula h = d tan θ, wher

e h is the height of the plane and d is the distance (along the ground) the plane has flown, find the angle of ascent θ at which the plane took off.

Height covered by the plane=h= 500 feet

Distance covered by the plane along the ground=d= 2 mile

Now, convert the mile into feet,

1 mile = 5280 feet

2 mile = 10560 feet

Now, use the formula

h= d tanθ

tanθ= h/d

tanθ= 500/10560

tanθ= 25/528

Take the tan⁻¹ on both side,

θ= tan⁻¹(25/528)

θ =2.71°

 For this case what you should do is find the area of the triangle which will be given by:
 A = (1/2) * (b) * (h)
 Where
 b: base
 h: height
 Substituting the values we have:
 A = (1/2) * (25 1/2) * (15)
 A = 191.25 feet ^ 2
 Answer:
 she will need 191.25 feet ^ 2 to cover the back of the cabin

The attic shown is a triangular prism. Insulation will be placed inside the walls, not including the floor. Find the surface are
maria [59]

Answer:

1,125\ ft^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The surface area of the triangular prism that will be covered with insulation is equal to the area of the two triangular faces plus the two lateral rectangular faces

so

SA=2[\frac{1}{2}(15)(15)]+2[(30)(15)]= 1,125\ ft^{2}

A teacher wants to build a scale model of the Earth and Pluto to compare their sizes. The Earth has a diameter of approximately
koban [17]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale model means that the ratios stay the same.

Therefore, Earth's diameter divided by Pluto's diameter is equal to the ratio of Earth's model's diameter divided by Pluto's model's diameter.

We can write this as

8000 / 1500 = 32/ Pluto's model's diameter. Representing Pluto's model's diameter as P, we can say

8000 / 1500 = 32 / P

multiply both sides by 1500 to remove a denominator

8000 = 32 * 1500 / P

multiply both sides by P to remove the other denominator

8000 * P = 32 * 1500

divide both sides by 8000 to isolate the P

P = 32 * 1500/8000

= 6 inches
