Part A; The plane will have to travel 70.61 km to fly over the first tower

Part B; The plane will have to travel 5.28 km to fly over the second tower

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; Assume the plane is x km away from the control tower. We know it is flying at a height of 3.7 km and an angle of depression of 3°. So a right-angled triangle can be formed using these measurements. The triangle's opposite side measures 3.7 kilometers while the opposite side measures x kilometers. The angle of the triangle is 3°

Step 2; Since we have the length of the opposite side and the angle of the triangle, we can determine the tan of an unknown angle.  

tan 3°= \frac{3.7}{x}, x =  \frac{3.7}{tan 3}, tan 3° = 0.0524,

x = 70.6106 kilometers.

So the plane must travel 70.61 km to fly over the first tower.

Step 3; Assume the plane is y km away from the control tower. We know it is flying at a height of 3.7 km and an angle of depression of 35°. So a right-angled triangle can be formed using these measurements. The triangle's opposite side measures 3.7 kilometers while the opposite side measures y kilometers. The angle of the triangle is 35°

Step 4; Since we have the length of the opposite side and the angle of the triangle, we can determine the tan of an unknown angle.  

tan 35°= \frac{3.7}{y}, y =  \frac{3.7}{tan35}, tan 35° = 0.7002,

y = 5.2842 kilometers.

So the plane must travel 5.28 km to fly over the second tower.

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

\$923.36  

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The compound interest formula is equal to  

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}  

where  

A is the Final Investment Value  

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested  

r is the rate of interest  in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods  

n is the number of times interest is compounded per year

in this problem we have  

t=1\ year\\ A=\$1,000\\ r=0.08\\n=12  

substitute in the formula above  and solve for P

\$1,000=P(1+\frac{0.08}{12})^{12*1}  

P=\$1,000/(1+\frac{0.08}{12})^{12*1}=\$923.36

Find all the missing side and angles for triangle.
pochemuha

the angles the top part that has a square is 90⁰ and x and y are equal so we will name them both x and all angles together make 180⁰

I don't know about the sides

Step-by-step explanation:

90+x+x=180

2x=180-90

2x=90

x=90/2

x=45
