A plane is located at C on the diagram. There are two towers located at A and B. The distance between the towers is 7,600 feet,

and the angles of elevation are given. a. Find BC, the distance from Tower 2 to the plane, to the nearest foot. b. Find CD, the height of the plane from the ground, to the nearest foot. Please show work! It is not multiple choice.

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

Line 1: 2x-3y&gt;12
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

  • The graph of this line i.e. 2x-3y>12 should be BELOW the DOTTED line as y involves < symbol.
  • The graph of this line i.e. y>-2x+5  should be ABOVE the DOTTED line as it involves > symbol.
  • The correct graph for line 1  and line 2 is shown in attached figure.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • If the inequality involves < or >, then the graph of the equation involves a dotted line.  
  • If the inequality involves ≤ or ≥, then the graph of the equation involves a solid line.

<em>Considering the line 1</em>

2x-3y>12

Solving line 1

2x-3y>12

-3y>12-2x

3y

y

As y involves < symbol, so the graph of this line should be BELOW the DOTTED line.

But, as you can see that there is an error in the graph. As the graph of  y is being shown ABOVE the SOLID line.

Therefore, the graph of this line i.e. y should be BELOW the DOTTED line as it involves < symbol.

<em>Considering the line 2</em>

y>-2x+5

As y>-2x+5 involves > symbol, so the graph of this line should be ABOVE the DOTTED line.

But, as you can see that there is an error in the graph. As the graph of  y>-2x+5 is being shown ABOVE the SOLID line.

Therefore, the graph of this line i.e. y>-2x+5 should be ABOVE the DOTTED line as it involves > symbol.

The <em>correct graph</em> for line 1 i.e. 2x-3y>12 and line 2 i.e. y>-2x+5 is shown in <em>attached figure</em>.

From the attached graph, it is shown that only (5, -2) satisfies the both inequalities. So, (5, -2) is the correct solution for the given inequalities.

<em>Solution Verification:</em>

<u><em>Putting (5, -2) in line 1 and line 2</em></u>

For line 1:

2x - 3y > 12 ⇒ 2(5) - 3(-2) > 12 ⇒ 10 + 6 > 12 ⇒ 16 > 12 which is true.

For line 2:

y > -2x + 5 ⇒ -2 > -2(5) + 5 ⇒ -2 > -10 + 5 ⇒ -2 > -5 which is true.

So, (5, -2) is IN the solution for line 1 and line 2

<em><u>Putting (-1, -1) in line 1 and line 2</u></em>

For line 1:

2x - 3y > 12 ⇒ 2(-1) - 3(-1) > 12 ⇒ -2 + 3 > 12 ⇒ 1 > 12 which is false.

For line 2:

y > -2x + 5 ⇒ -1 > -2(-1) + 5 ⇒ -1 > 2 + 5 ⇒ -1 > 7 which is false.

So, (-1, -1) is NOT in the solution for line 1 and line 2

<em><u>Putting (0, 5) in line 1 and line 2</u></em>

For line 1:

2x - 3y > 12 ⇒ 2(0) - 3(5) > 12 ⇒ 0 - 15 > 12 ⇒ -15 > 12 which is false.

For line 2:

y > -2x + 5 ⇒ 5 > -2(0) + 5 ⇒ 5 > 0 + 5 ⇒ 5 > 5 which is false.

So, (0, 5) is NOT in the solution for line 1 and line 2
