A helicopter is hovering 450 feet above the ground. The angle of elevation

Mathematics

SIZIF [17.4K]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The distance of helicopter from the injured person is 542.82 feet  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The height of the hovering helicopter above the ground = h = 450 feet

The angle of elevation from injured person to helicopter = Ф = 56°

Or, Let the distance of of helicopter from person = x feet

Now, From Triangle

∵ Sin Ф = \dfrac{\textrm Perendicular}{\textrm Hypotenuse}

∴  Sin 56° = \dfrac{\textrm h}{\textrm x}

Or, 0.8290 = \dfrac{\textrm 450}{\textrm x}

Or , x = \dfrac{\textrm 450}{\textrm 0.8290}

I.e x = 542.82 feet

So, The distance from injured person to helicopter = 542.82 feet

Hence The distance of helicopter from the injured person is 542.82 feet  Answer

Sales Daria sells televisions. She earns a fixed amount for each television and an additional $25 if the buyer gets an extended
aliina [53]
Answer: Daria earns a fixed amount of $55 for each​ television.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a represent the fixed amount that Daria earns for each​ television.
Daria earns a fixed amount for each television and an additional $25 if the buyer gets an extended warranty. This means that if she sells b televisions with extended warranties, the total amount that she would earn is
ab + 25b
If Daria sells 14 televisions with extended warranties,she earns $1,120. Therefore,
14a + 14 × 25 = 1120
14a + 350 = 1120
14a = 1120 - 350
14a = 770
a = 770/14
a = 55

Find the distance between xequals[Start 2 By 1 Matrix 1st Row 1st Column 8 2nd Row 1st Column negative 5 EndMatrix ]and yequals[
kherson [118]

Answer:

Distance =√(x₁ - y₁)²+ (x₂ - y₂)² = √97 = 9.85

Step-by-step explanation:

The Matrix X and Y could also be referred to as vectors in Rⁿ dimensions.

if Vector X = ( x₁ , x₂)   and  Vector  Y = (y₁ , y₂)

then, Distance (X-Y) = ||X-Y|| = √(x₁ - y₁)²+ (x₂ - y₂)²

where, x₁ = 8, x₂ = -5   and  y₁ = -1 , y₂ = -9

Distance = √(8 - (-1))²+ (-5 - (-9))² = √9² + 4² =√97 = 9.85

Your parents purchase a computer for $1,257.00 plus 6% sales tax. They decide to finance it through the store’s 0% program for 6
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

$111.59

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of the purchase was the cost of the computer plus the sales tax:

$1,257*1,06= $1,332.42

Now, to determine the interest that they will have to pay, you have to consider that the interest rate is 16,75% APR that is the annual percentage rate but as only 6 month have passed, the interest rate at this point that they have to pay is 8.375%:

$1,332.42*8.375%= $111.59

The interest that they will be charged is  $111.59

Which of the measurements would be the most helpful in determining the wavelength
In-s [12.5K]
So we want to know what do we need to measure to determine the wavelength of the wave on the image. A wavelength is the distance between peaks of the wave. More generally, the distance on which the wave shape repeats. So on the image we need to measure X to determine the wavelength. So the correct answer is X.

Solve the following inequality algebraically. ∣x−5∣≤11
Igoryamba

Answer:

-6\leq x\leq 16

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the inequality:

|x-5|\leq 11

Definition of Absolute Value:

x-5\leq 11\text{ or } x-5\geq -11

Note that the sign is flipped in the second case because we multiplied by a negative.

Add 5 to both sides to both equations:

x\leq 16\text{ or } x\geq -6

Merge:

-6\leq x\leq 16

And we're done!
