Answer: Hello there!

We know that the model is 28 inches long, and the scale of the model is 1/48 with respect to the real plane.

Now we want to know how long is the actual plane.

If the scale of the model is 1/48, this means that 48 models are equal in length to the actual plane. Then the length of the actual plane is 48 times the length of the model, this is:

L = 48*28 inches = 1344 inches, we could change the units for others more suiting for a plane, using that 1 feet = 12 inches, then we could write the length in feet using dividing the length in inches by 12.

L =1344/12 = 112 feets.

You would say 1/48=28/x and solve the proportion to get an answer of 1344 inches, which is 112 feet.

The cup, on the 9th hole of a golf course, is located, dead center, in the middle of a circular green, which is 35 feet in radiu
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

± 27.33 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

For the given problem, we can estimate the initial and final coordinates of the line of the ball path as (-40,-50) and (0,0). Therefore, the slope is:

(-50-0)/(-40-0) = 50/40 = 1.25

Similarly, we can estimate the slope of a perpendicular line to the line of the ball path as: -1*(1/1.25) = -0.8.

Therefore, using (0,0) and the slope -0.8, the equation of the perpendicular line is: -0.8 = (y-0)/(x-0);

-0.8 = y/x

y = -0.8x

Furthermore, we are given the circle radius as 35 ft and we can use the distance formula to find the two points 35 ft far from the origin:

35^2 = x^2 + y^2

y = -0.8x

35^2 = x^2 + (-0.8x)^2

1225 = (x^2 + 0.64x^2)

1225 = 1.64x^2

x^2 = 1225/1.64 = 746.95

x = sqrt(746.95) = ± 27.33 ft

A military aircraft can travel 740 miles per hour. The distance between Tyndall Air Force Base in Florida and Lakenheath Air For
BARSIC [14]

Answer: 3.5 h

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>1. Data:</u>

a) s = 740 miles / h

b) d = 2,567 miles

c) t = ?

<u>2. Equation:</u>

  • speed = distance / time
  • s = d / t

<u>3. Solution:</u>

  • Solve the equation for t:

        s = d / t ⇒ t = d / s

  • Substitute values:

        t = 2,567 miles / (740 miles/h) ≈ 3.47 h ≈ 3.5 h

For an angle θ with the point (−5, −12) on its terminating side, what is the value of cosine?
viva [34]

Answer:

option C. -\frac{5}{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

we have  that

The point (-5,-12) belong to the III quadrant

so

The value of the cosine is negative

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem

Find the value of the hypotenuse

h^{2}=5^{2}+12^{2}\\ h^{2} =25+144\\ h^{2}=169\\h=13\ units

The value of cosine of angle θ is the ratio between the side adjacent to angle θ and the hypotenuse

cos(\theta)=-\frac{5}{13}
