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

Which of the following is a solution of 4x + 2y ≤ 6?
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

D. (1,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Just plug in each coordinate for x and y into 4x+2y and see which one is less than or equal to 6.

Lets go through all of the possible answers:

<u>A</u>. (0,4)

4(0) + 2(4) ≤ 6

0 + 8 ≤ 6

8 ≤ 6

This is false.  8 is not less than or equal to 6.

<u>B</u>. (5,0)

4(5) + 2(0) ≤ 6

20 + 0 ≤ 6

20 ≤  6

This is false.  20 is not less than or equal to 6.

<u>C</u>. (5,7)

4(5) + 2(7) ≤ 6

20 + 14 ≤ 6

34 ≤ 6

This is false because 35 is not less than or equal to 6

<u>D</u>. (1,0)

4(1) + 2(0) ≤ 6

4 + 0 ≤ 6

4  ≤ 6

This is true, because 4 is less than 6.

Why is the measure angle of y
Nataly [62]

Step-by-step explanation:

x + x + x = 90°

3x = 90°

x = 90/3 = 30

x = 30°

now,

apply angle sum property to find the value of y

as, x = 30

so,

30 + 90 + y = 180

120 + y = 180

y = 180 - 120 = 60

y = 60° ans.

therefore, option B is correct

hope this answer helps you!

Help!!!<br><br> Given the function f(x) = x/3 + 7. Find the input for which f(x) = 13
ikadub [295]

\begin{cases}f(x)=x/3+7\\f(x)=13\end{cases}

We find that

13=x/3+7\Longrightarrow x=\boxed{18}

Hope this helps.

If 25 people start a race, in how many different ways can the top 2 finishers be determined?
VMariaS [17]

There are total 600 number of ways or  permutations the top two finishers can be determined.

According to the given question.

Total number of people who are participating in a race = 25

In 25 participants the total number of participants to be selected to finish the race = 2

As we know that "a permutation is a mathematical calculation of the number of ways a particular set can be arranged, where the order of the arrangement matters". Which can be calculated as

^{n}P_{r} = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}

Where,

^{n} P_{r} is the number of permutations

n is the total number of objects

r is the numbers of objects to be selected

Thereofore,

The total number of ways, or permutaions the two top finishers can be determined is given by

^{25} P_{2}

= 25!/(25-2)!

= 25!/23!

= 25 × 24 × 23!/23!

= 25 × 24

= 600

Hence, there are total 600 ways or number of permutations the top two finishers can be determined.
