Answer:

18.98\°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the angle of depression

we know that

The sine of angle x is equal to divide the altitude (opposite side to angle x) by the distance from the runway (hypotenuse)

sin(x)=\frac{2.7}{8.3}

x=arcsin(\frac{2.7}{8.3})=18.98\°

Answer:

18.02°

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to find angle of depression is given as

tan y = opposite / adjacent

where y = angle of depression

Where opposite = height or altitude of a person or thing

adjacent = distance

In this question ,

opposite = altitude of the plane = 2.7 miles

adjacent = distance of the plane from the runaway = 8.3 miles

Angle of depression is calculated as

tan y = ( 2.7/8.3)

y = tan⁻¹ ( 2.7÷8.3)

y = 18.02°

Angle of depression that the plane must make to land safely = 18.02°

Nia solved the equation -1.98 = 5.2v + 13.1. Her answer was v = -2.9. She is fairly confident about her answer, but wants to do
d1i1m1o1n [39]
To solve this, just round each number. -1.98≈-2, 5.2≈5, -2.9≈-3, 13.1≈13. The only answer choice which correctly rounds these is A, -2=5(-3)+13
