tion device malfunctions and incorrectly shows the distance to be 65 miles. The dispatcher noticed this mistake and figured out that if airplane continues on its current course, it will end up 16 miles from airport. By how many degrees should dispatcher adjust the airplane heading

Answer:

13.98 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the airplane be at point A, the airport at point B and the point of overshoot, point C.

If the plane is on path AC and the pilot wants to adjust to the path AB, the angle by which the pilot will adjust the airplane heading is the angle between AB and AC which is A.

Using Cosine Rule

Cos A=\dfrac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2bc} \\Cos A=\dfrac{65^2+60^2-16^2}{2(65)(60)} \\Cos A=0.9704\\A=arcCos (0.9704)\\\angle A=13.98^\circ

The pilot should adjust the plane's heading by 13.98 degrees.

In the graph shown below, if lines 1^1 are parallel, then the slope of the line 1^2 is?
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

<h2>Two lines are parallel if the have the same slope. Example 1: Find the slope of the line parallel to the line 4x – 5y = 12. To find the slope of this line we need to get the line into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), which means we need to solve for y: The slope of the line 4x – 5y = 12 is m = 4/5.</h2>

Answer:

x=12

Step by step explanation:

Step by step explanation:Add 9 to both sides :

15 = 2x - 9

15 + 9 = 2x - 9 + 9

Simplify:

24 = 2x

Divide both sides to get the result:

24 = 2x

24/2 = (2x)/2

Result:

x=12
