Answer:

2.2 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

Let x be the distance between runway and the airplane, where plane start the approach.

We have been given that to approach the runway, a pilot of a small plane must begin a 10° descent starting from a height of 1983 feet above the ground.

We can see from our attachment that angle DAC is equal to angle BCA (by alternate interior angles).

Side length AB is opposite side and x is hypotenuse for our given angle. Since Sine represents the relation between the hypotenuse and opposite of right triangle, so we will use sine to find the length of x.

\text{Sin}=\frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}

\text{Sin}(10^o)=\frac{1983}{x}

x=\frac{1983}{\text{Sin}(10^o)}

x=\frac{1983}{0.173648177667}

x=11419.6418680692448271

Since length of x is in feet, let us convert our answer into miles.

1 mile = 5280 feet.

Let us divide length of x by 5280 to get our answer in miles.

11419.6418680692448271\text{ Feet}=\frac{11419.6418680692448271\text{ feet}}{\frac{5280\text{ feet}}{\text{miles}}}

11419.6418680692448271\text{ Feet}=\frac{11419.6418680692448271\text{ feet}}{5280}\times \frac{\text{ miles}}{\text{ feet}}

11419.6418680692448271\text{ Feet}=\frac{11419.6418680692448271}{5280}\times \text{ miles}

11419.6418680692448271\text{ Feet}=2.162810959\text{ miles}\approx 2.2\text{ miles}

Therefore, the distance between the runway and the airplane where it start this approach is 2.2 miles.

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It represents a linear function because there is a constant rate of change.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, if the rate of change for y ( output value ) with respect to x ( input value ) remains constant for a function then it is called linear function.

Here, number of hours represents input value and minutes represents the output value,

Now, By the given table,

The function is passing through the points (1,60), (2,120), (3,180), (4,240) and (5,300),

Also,

⇒  The rate of change output value with respect to input value remains constant,

Hence, It represents a linear function because there is a constant rate of change.

Butoxors [25]

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 represents every fraction, where the denominator (bottom part) is twice the numerator (top part).

like 4/8 or 6/12 or 128/256 or ...

what do we need in the denominator to calculate with 15/16 ?

the same : 16.

and what is half of 16 ? 8.

so, we need the 1/2 based on 16th = 8/16.

so, the dog ate 8/16 (1/2) of the original 15/16.

what was left was

15/16 - 8/16 = 7/16 pound

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

(x+2)^2+1

Step-by-step explanation:

G is shifted 2 to the left and one up. 2 to the left is represented by changing the input by adding 2 to it (as the original is 2 more than the edited), and adding 1 to the end of it adds 1, so our answer is (x+2)^2+1

Pls help I’ll give brainiest to whoever helps
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

K'(-3,-2) and A'(-2,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

180 degree rotation = (x,y)---(-x, -y)

hence, if k=(3,2)

then k' = (-3, -2)

90 degree rotation clockwise= (x,y)--(y,-x)

hence if, A=(-5 , -2)

then, A'= (-2, 5)
