A plane has an altitude of 23760 feet which expression can I use to find the altitude in miles

Lyrx [107]3 years ago

Perhaps we can treat this as a "distance to horizon" problem, the observer is 7 mi above the earth

One formula is: d+=+sqrt%28%283h%29%2F2%29 where d is in miles and h is in feet

Change 7 mi; 5280*7 = 36960 ft

so we have

d = sqrt%28%283960%2A3%29%2F2%29

d ~ 235.5 mi

looking in opposite directions a total of 2*235 = 471 mi can be viewed

Find the circumference of the earth

C = pi%2A8000

C = 25133 mi

:

The arc: 471%2F25133 * 360 = 6.7 degrees

:

This should be pretty close, because the earth is so large compared to the altitude. would appreciate if it you would let me know. C

Graph matching 50 Points!
Sloan [31]

Step-by-step explanation: To find the graphs, we look at the problem and the graph. Let's do it step-by-step.

No. 1 is y = 1/2.

To find the corresponding graph, we look closely at the graph.

Look at the 2nd graph. Do you see a dot by 1/2? I do!

So, No. 1 matches with the 2nd graph.

No. 2 is y = 2.

Like I said, we look closely at the graph.

Look at the 4th graph. Do you see a dot by 2? I do!

So, No. 2 matches with the 4th graph.

No. 3 is y = 4.

Now, we look closely at the graph.

Look at the 3rd and the 4th graph. Do you see a dot by 4? I do!

So, No. 3 matches with the 3rd and the 4th graph.

Lastly, No. 4 is y = 1/4.

Let's look closely at the graph.

Look at the 1st graph. Do you see a dot by 1/4? I do!

So, No. 4 matches with the 2nd graph.

Therefore, our answers are:

No. 1 matches with the 2nd graph

No. 2 matches with the 4th graph.

No. 3 matches with the 4th and the 3rd graph.

No. 4 matches with the 1st and the 2nd graph.
