Sin35=17000/x

xsin35=17000

x=17000/sin35

x=28639

Answer:

here are numerous information's already given in the question. Based on those information's, the answer to the question can be easily deduced.

Angle at which the plane is flying in respect to the observer = 35 degree

Altitude at which the plane is flying = 17000 feet

The distance at which the plane is flying from the observer = x 

Then

x = 17000/sin 35

 = 17000/0.57357

 = 29638.93 feet

 = 29639 feet

From the above deduction, we can conclude that the correct option among all the options given in the question is the third option.

In 1980, the median age of the U.S. population was 30.0; in 2000, the median age was 35.3.
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

y = 0.265x - 494.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let median age be represent by 'a' and time be represent by 't'

In 1980, median age is given 30

which means that

a₁ = 30

t₁ = 1980

In 2000, the median age is given 35.3

which means that.

a₂ = 35.3

t₂ = 2000

The slope 'm' of the linear equation can be found by:

m = (a₂ - a₁) /(t₂ - t₁)

m = (35.3 - 30)/(2000-1980)

m = 0.265

General form of linear equation is given by:

y = mx + c

y = 0.265x +c

Substitute point (1980,30) in the equation.

30 = 0.265(1980) + c

c = -494.7

Hence the the linear equation can be written as:

y = mx + c

y = 0.265x - 494.7
