A man is standing at a radar base and observes an unidentified plane at an altitude 6000m flying towards the radar base at an an

gle of elevation 300. After exactly one minute, the radar sweep reveals that the plane is now at an angle of elevation 600 maintaining the same altitude. What is the speed in m/s of the plane?

Answer:

The speed in of the plane is 115.47 m/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height at which the plane is flying = 6000 m

Angle of elevation at the radar base = 30 Degrees

Angle of elevation at the radar base after one minute  = 60 Degrees

To Find:

The Speed of the plane in meter per second = ?

Solution:

Let us use the tangent of the angle to find the distance (d) to a point directly below plane:

<u>when the angle is 30 degrees</u>

tan(30) = \frac{6000}{d1}

d1   = \frac{6000}{tan(30)}

d1 = \frac{6000}{0.577}

d1 = 10392.3 meters

<u>when the angle is 60 degrees</u>

tan(60) = \frac{6000}{d2}

d2  = \frac{6000}{tan(60)}

d2  = \frac{6000}{1.732}\\

d2 = 3464.1 meters

<u>distance travelled by aircraft in 1 min is  </u>

=>d1 - d2

=>0392.3 - 3464.1

= 6928.2 m/min

<u>Now converting to m/sec</u>

=>\frac{6928.2}{60}

=>115.47 m/sec

What is the equation of a line that passes through the point (9, −3) and is parallel to the line whose equation is 2x−3y=6 ?
vlabodo [156]
2x - 3y = 6
-3y = -2x + 6
y = 2/3x - 2....the slope here is 2/3. A parallel line will have the same slope

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 2/3
(9,-3)...x = 9 and y = -3
now we sub and find b, the y int
-3 = 2/3(9) + b
-3 = 6 + b
-3 - 6 = b
-9 = b

so ur parallel equation is : y = 2/3x - 9 <== or 2x -3y = 27

So volue of a cone=1/3 times (area of base[which is a circle]) times height

area of base=area of circle=pi time radius^2
area=pi times 5^2
area=pi times 25=25pi

1/3 times 25pi times 18
25pi times 18 times 1/3
25pi times 18/3
25pi times 6=150pi


the answer is 150π in^3 or 150π cubic inches or C

( to solve, aprox pi to 3.141592 an multiply 150 by 3.141592=471.239 in^3)

The area of a square shaped yard is 201.5 ft2. Which measurement is closest to the side length of this yard in feet?
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

a = 14.19 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The area of a square shaped yard is 201.5 ft²

We need to find the side length of this yard in feet.

The area of a square shaped object is given by :

A = a², a is the side length of the object

Put A = 201.5 ft² in above formula,

201.5=a^2\\\\a=\sqrt{201.5 } \\\\a=14.19\ \text{feet}

So, the side of the square yard is 14.19 feet.
