<span>As the Earth has a radius of 6371 kilometers and pilot is flying at a steady altitude of 5.6 kilometers above the earth's surface. This forms a right angled triangle of perendicular 6371km and hypotenuse of (6371+5.6)km. The pilot's distance to the horizon will be the Base.Hence by pythagoras theorem we have Distance=276.5km rounding of =280km</span>

Answer:

<em>The pilot's distance to the horizon is 267.2 kilometers.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the below diagram,  A is the position of the pilot which is 5.6 kilometers above the earth's surface, D.

Earth has a radius of 6371 kilometers. That means, CB=CD= 6371 kilometers.

So,  CA= CD+DA= (6371+5.6)= 6376.6 kilometers.

The pilot's distance to the horizon is AB.

<u>Using Pythagorean theorem</u>, we will get........

AB^2+CB^2 = CA^2\\ \\ AB^2+(6371)^2=(6376.6)^2\\ \\ AB^2 = (6376.6)^2 -(6371)^2 \\ \\ AB^2= 71386.56\\ \\ AB= \sqrt{71386.56}=267.182... \approx 267.2

<em>(Rounded to the nearest tenth)</em>

So, the pilot's distance to the horizon is 267.2 kilometers.

An orchard owner wants to plant 64 cherry tree seedlings and 96 peach tree seedlings in rows. Each row is to have the same numbe
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Given:

cherry tree seedlings : 64

peach tree seedlings : 96

64/96 : Simplify this fraction

64 / 8 = 8 / 4 = 2

96 / 8 = 12 / 4 = 3

2 and 3 number of seedlings per row

64 / 2 = 32

96 / 3 = 32

number of rows

The maximum number of rows that the owner can plant is 32 rows with 2 cherry tree seedlings and 3 peach tree seedlings.

A<br> 9x - 40<br> B<br> 3x + 20<br> x = [?]
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

9x - 40 = 3x + 20

<u>9</u><u>x</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>3</u><u>x</u> - 40 = <u>3x - 3x</u> + 20

6x - 40 = 20

6x <u>-</u><u> </u><u>40</u><u> </u><u>+</u><u> </u><u>40</u> = <u>20</u><u> </u><u>+</u><u> </u><u>40</u>

6x = 60

<u>6x</u><u> </u><u>/</u><u> </u><u>6</u> = <u>60</u><u> </u><u>/</u><u> </u><u>6</u>

x = 10

Now plug the x value in the equation to make the statement true that A is parallel to B.

9x - 40

<u>9</u><u>(</u><u>10</u><u>)</u> - 40

<u>90</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>40</u>

50

3x + 20

<u>3</u><u>(</u><u>10</u><u>)</u> + 20

<u>30</u><u> </u><u>+</u><u> </u><u>20</u>

50

Therefore, x = 10 making the statement true that A is parallel to B. Hope this helps and stay safe, happy, and healthy, thank you :) !!
