Part A) Find BC, the distance from Tower 2 to the plane, to the nearest foot.

in the triangle ACD
sin16=CD/(7600+BD)--------> CD=sin16*(7600+BD)---------> equation 1 
in the triangle BCD
sin24=CD/BD-----------> CD=sin24*BD---------------> equation 2
equation 1=equation 2
sin16*(7600+BD)=sin24*BD-----> sin16*7600+sin16*BD=sin24*BD
sin24*BD-sin16*BD=sin16*7600----> BD=[sin16*7600]/[sin24-sin16]
BD=15979 ft

in the triangle BCD
cos24=BD/BC---------> BC=BD/cos24-------> 15979/cos24-------> 17491
BC=17491 ft

the answer part 1) BC is 17491 ft


Part 2) Find CD, the height of the plane from the ground, to the nearest foot.

CD=sin24*BD        ( remember equation 2)
BD=15979 ft
CD=sin24*15979 -----------> CD=6499 ft

the answer part 2)  CD is 6499 ft

1-5. Evaluate each absolute value expression. Can you help me with this and if you can explain it to me thanks you
mihalych1998 [28]

Well when it comes to absolute value remember that whatever number is inside the two straight lines will always come out as a positive.

a) [54] would still be 54

b)-[-7 3/5] so first you get the absolute value which comes out to 7 3/5 but because there is a negative sign out side of the two parallel lines, the answer would be -7 3/5

c)[3]-[-1] the absolute value of 3 is 3 and the absolute value of -1 is 1. So the expression would be 3-1 which comes out to 2

d)[2.2-5.13] 2.2-5.13 would equal -2.93 but since it is in the absolute value, the answer would come out as 2.93

Hope this helps!

. He rowed 3 1/2 miles in 1/2 hour.What is the average speed in miles per hour.
Rudiy27

Answer:

7 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

3 1/2 miles = 7/2 miles

1/2 hours= 30 minutes

So,

In 30 mins, travelled 7/2 miles

In 1 min, travelled 7/2 ÷ 30= 7/2× 1/30 = (7×1)/(2×30) = 7/60 miles

In 60 mins, travelled (7×60)/60 miles = 420/60 miles = 7 miles.

Hence, the speed is 7 miles per hour.

Hope this helps :)
