A blimp is flying parallel to a road and is 2460 feet directly above it. The angles of depression of two parked

Answer:

‭1419.42‬ feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y be the height of the blimp above the cars and x₁ be the distance from the blimp to the first car at an angle of depression of 34.99° and x₂ be the distance from the blimp to the second car at an angle of depression of 26.5°.

From trigonometric ratios,

tan34.99° = y/x₁ and tan26.5° = y/x₂

So, x₁ = yt/an34.99° and x₂ = y/tan26.5°

So, the distance between the cars is thus d = x₂ - x₁ = y/tan26.5° - y/tan34.99°= y(1/tan26.5° - 1/tan34.99°) = y(cot26.5° - cot34.99°)

Since y = height of blimp above the road = 2460 feet, substituting it into the equation, we have,

d = 2460(cot26.5° -  cot34.99°)

d = 2460(2.0057 - 1.4287)

d = 2460(0.577)

d =  ‭1419.42‬ feet

I just need help with this math question
Volgvan
Ok so BFD is a 90 degree angle. So you know you have 43 in one of the spaces so that means all you have to do is take 90 and minus 43 which is 47.

So we want to find the surface area of this pyramid. Finding the surface area of a 3D shape is essentially finding the area of all its sides and adding them together.

What we're going to have to do here is find the area of the base of the pyramid, which is basically a square, and find the area of all four sides of the pyramid, which are triangles.

Formula for area of a square: length × width

Formula for area of a triangle: (base × height) ÷ 2

First we will find the area of the base:

l × w = A

(Write out formula)

8 × 8 =

(Input values)

A = 64 m^2 (square meters or meters squared)

(We have our answer, dont forgot to write your units.)

So we've figured out the area of the base. Now onto the triangles:

(b×h) ÷ 2 = A

(Write out formula)

(8 × 6) ÷ 2 =

(Input values)

48 ÷ 2 =

(Use PEMDAS to solve this correctly. We did whatever was in the parenthesis first, which was multiplication.)

A = 24m^2 (square meters or meters squared)

(We have our answer.)

Now we've found the area of the base of the pyramid and one of the sides of the pyramid, but we're almost done! There's four sides to the pyramid, they're all the same. So since we found the area for one, we can multiply that by 4 to find the area of all sides added together:

24 × 4

(area of a side × total sides)

= 96m^2

All that's left is adding the 96 to the area of the base to get our total surface area of the pyramid:

96 + 64 = 160

The surface area of the pyramid is 160m^2(square meters or meters squared)

(Hope this helps :) )

Which statements about the factors of the terms in the expression 20a+15ab+24b are true?
nata0808 [166]
<span>1) Expression given: 20a+15ab+24b
</span>

2) Greates common factor GFC:

i) Coefficients:

20 = 2² × 5 × 1

15 = 3 × 5 × 1

24 = 2³ × 8 × 1


GCF = common numbers raised to the lower power = 1.
<span /><span /><span />

ii) Letters:
a
ab
b
Since, none letter is in the three terms, then there is not common letter as GFC.

iii) Conclusion the GCF is 1.


<span> 3) Let's see every option of the list:
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>i) The factors common to 20a and 15ab are 1, 5, a, and b.
</span>

FALSE: becasue b is not in 20a.


<span /><span /><span> ii) The factors common to 20a and 15ab are 1, 5, and a.
</span>

TRUE: 1, 5, and a are in contained in both terms.
<span /><span /><span>
</span><span>iii) The factors common to 15ab and 24b are 1, 3, a, and b.
</span>

FALSE: a is not in 24b

<span /><span /><span> iv) The factors common to 15ab and 24b are 1, 3, and b.
</span>

TRUE: 1, 3, and b are contained in both terms.

<span /><span /><span> v) The factors common to 20a and 24b are 1, 2, 4, a, and b.
</span>

FALSE: a is not in 24b and b is not in 20a.
<span /><span /><span>
</span><span>vi) The factors common to 20a and 24b are 1, 2, and 4.
</span>

TRUE: 1, 2, and 4 are contained in both terms.

<span /><span /><span> vii) The GCF of the expression is ab.
</span>

FALSE: as seen above ab is not a common factor.

<span /><span /><span> viii) The GCF of the expression is 1
</span>

TRUE: it was proved above.
