Answer:

1544.1 ft to the nearest tenth.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a triangle where we have to find the hypotenuse and the opposite side to the given angle = 1200 feet.

So we use the sine function ( sin = opp / hyp).

sin 51 = 1200 / h

h = 1200 / sin 51

h = 1544.111 ft.

Andreyy89

She made the mistake of grouping unlike terms and factorizing.

Given that

Helene is finding the sum (9 + 10i) + (–8 + 11i).

She rewrites the sum as (–8 + 11)i + (9 + 10)i.

We have to determine

Which statement explains the property of addition that she made an error in using?

According to the question

The mistake she did is in the second term distributing.

(9+10i) is not equal to (9+10)i

Similarly (-8+11i) is not equal to (-8+11)i.

The correct method she should have done is given below;

Grouping real terms together and imaginary terms together and finding the sum is,

$\rm = (9 + 10i) + (-8 + 11i)\\\\= 9+10i-8+11i\\\\= (9-8) +(10i+11i)\\\\=1+21i$

Hence, she made the mistake of grouping unlike terms and factorizing.

A bird (b) is spotted flying 900 feet from an observer. the observer (o) also spots the top of a tower (t) at a height of 200 fe

Svetach [21]

Angle of depression = 12.52°

The right angle triangle formed has a height of 200 ft and a base of 900 ft.

The opposite side of the triangle is 200 ft while the adjacent side of the triangle is 900 ft.

Using tangential ratio we can find the angle of depression. Therefore,

Let

x = angle of depression

tan x = opposite/adjacent

opposite = 200 ft

adjacent = 900 ft

tan x = 200/900

tan x = 2/9

x = tan⁻¹ 2/9

x = tan⁻¹ 0.222

x = 12.5166739144

x = 12.52°

18 Andy flies from the UK to Japan.

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Leila pays more than Andy to fly from the UK to Australia.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Andy flies from the UK to Japan.

His plane ticket costs £554.

Andy then flies from Japan to Australia.

His plane ticket costs 70 140 Japanese Yen.

The exchange rate is £1 = 140 Japanese Yen.

Leila flies from the UK to Australia.

Her plane ticket costs 1860 Australian dollars.

The exchange rate is 1 Australian dollar = £0.62.

Now, to find Andy or Leila who pays more to fly from the UK to Australia.

Andy flies from the UK to Japan.

His plane ticket costs = £554.

Andy then flies from Japan to Australia.

His plane ticket costs 70 140 Japanese Yen.

The exchange rate is £1 = 140 Japanese Yen.

So, by using conversion factor we convert Japanese Yen to £.

140 = £1

70140 = $70140\div 140=\£501.$

His plane ticket costs = £501.

Now, adding both the cost of tickets:

$501+554=\£1055.$

Andy total pays fly from the UK to Australia is £1055.

Now, to get the cost of plane ticket of Leila from the UK to Australia.

Her plane ticket costs 1860 Australian dollars.

The exchange rate is 1 Australian dollar = £0.62.

So, by using conversion factor:

1 Australian dollar = £0.62

1860 Australian dollar = $1860\times 0.62=\£1153.2$

Her plane ticket costs is £1153.2.

As, we see that cost of plane ticket of Andy is £1055 and cost of plane ticket of Leila is £1153.2.

Thus, Leila pays more.

Therefore, Leila pays more than Andy to fly from the UK to Australia.
