Ships A and B are 1,425 feet apart and detect a submarine below them. The angle of depression from ship A to the submarine is 59

°, and the angle of depression from ship B to the submarine is 47°. How far away is the submarine from the two ships? Round to the nearest hundredth of a foot. The distance from ship A to the submarine is about feet. The distance from ship B to the submarine is about feet.

Answer: The distance from ship B to the submarine is 1270.68 feet and the distance from ship A to the submarine is 1084.18 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Distance between Ships A and B = 1425 feet

Angle of depression from ship A to the submarine =59°

Angle of depression from ship B to the submarine = 47°

As shown in the figure below:

Remaining angle will be

180\textdegree-(47\textdegree+59\textdegree)\\\\=180\textdegree-106\textdegree\\\\=74\textdegree

So, we will use "Sine formula ":

\frac{\sin 74\textdegree}{1425}=\frac{\sin 59\textdegree}{B}\\\\B=\frac{1425\times \sin 59\textdegree}{\sin 74\textdegree}\\\\B=1270.68\ feet

Similarly,

\frac{\sin 74\textdegree}{1425}=\frac{\sin 47\textdegree}{A}\\\\A=\frac{1425\times \sin 47\textdegree}{\sin 74\textdegree}\\\\A=1084.18\ feet

Hence, the distance from ship B to the submarine is 1270.68 feet and the distance from ship A to the submarine is 1084.18 feet.

Carter hikes from the top of a hill that is 120 2/3 feet above sea level down
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

77 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Difference is asking for subtraction. The equation would look like:

Top of Hill - Valley = X

(P.S.- 2/3 is equal to . 67)

120.67 - 43.67 = 77

The weekly ad for a local grocery store advertises a 5 pound bag of organic apples for $13.95. Round each rate to the nearest hu
beks73 [17]

Answer:

$2.79 per pound of apples.

0.36 pounds per dollar.

The unit rate representing cost of per pound apples is typically used.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the weekly ad for a local grocery store advertises a 5 pound bag of organic apples for $13.95.

Since we know when rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 100 meter per second or 5 miles per hour, they are called unit rates. We need to have 1 in our denominator to express two quantities as unit rate.

Let us find the unit rate in terms of cost of per pound bag of apples.

\text{Unit rate as the cost of organic apples per pound}=\frac{\$13.95}{5 \text{ pounds of organic apples}}

\text{Unit rate as the cost of organic apples per pound}=\frac{\$2.79} {\text{ pound of organic apples}}

Therefore, our unit rate will be $2.79 per pound of apples.

Let us find unit rate of pounds of apples per dollar.

\text{Unit rate as the pounds of organic apples per dollar}=\frac{5\text{ pounds of organic apples}}{\$13.95}

\text{Unit rate as the pounds of organic apples per dollar}=\frac{0.3584 \text{ pounds of organic apples}}{\$}

\text{Unit rate as the pounds of organic apples per dollar}\approx \frac{0.36 \text{ pounds of organic apples}}{\$}

Therefore, our another unit rate will be 0.36 pounds per dollar.

Since, we purchase apples or other items according to their price per piece or their price per pound in our daily life, therefore, the unit rate representing cost of per pound apples is typically used.
