We can use the pythagorean theorem to solve this

The pythagorean theorem = a^2 + b^2 = c^2, while

a = one leg

b = the second leg

c = the hypotenuse

In this problem,

a = 3

b = 15

c = ?

Let's plug our values into the pythagorean theorem

(3)^2 + (15)^2 = c^2

9 + 225 = c^2

Add together the left side

234 = c^2

Take the sqrt of both sides

sqrt(234) = c

The length of BC = sqrt(234)

maxonik [38]

<h3>Answer: $6</h3>

Explanation:

To take 10% of anything, move the decimal point 1 spot to the left.

The number 60.0 will become 6.00 or simply 6.

In other words, we chop off the 0 at the end go from 60 to 6.

Space Shuttle Marion is observing the launch of a space

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Using the slope concept, it is found that the shuttle traveled 3.2 miles while Marion was watching.

<h3>What is a slope?</h3>

The slope is given by the <u>vertical change divided by the horizontal change</u>, and it's also the tangent of the angle of depression.

Initially, the angle of elevation is of 16º, with an elevation of 1 mi, hence:

$\tan{16^\circ} = \frac{1}{x_1}$

$x_1 = \frac{1}{\tan{16^\circ}}$

$x_1 = 3.5$

Then, at the end, the angle will be of 74º, with the elevation remaining constant, hence:

$\tan{74^\circ} = \frac{1}{x_2}$

$x_2 = \frac{1}{\tan{74^\circ}}$

$x_2 = 0.3$

The distance is:

$d = x_1 - x_2 = 3.5 - 0.3 = 3.2$

The shuttle traveled 3.2 miles while Marion was watching.
