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.

What is the value of x?<br><br> PLZ HELP!!
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles, sum = 180

10x - 20 + 6x + 8 = 180

16x - 12 = 180

16x = 192

   x = 12

Write an equation of the line passing through the point (3, -1) and parallel to the line y=2/3x - 5. Show work
alex41 [277]

Answer:

The answer is: y = 2/3x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given point: (3, -1)

Given equation: y = 2/3x - 5, which is in the form y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

Parallel lines have the same slope. Use the point slope form of the equation with the point (3, -1) and substitute:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-1) = 2/3(x - 3)

y + 1 = 2/3x - 6/3

y + 1 = 2/3x - 2

y = 2/3x - 3

Proof:

f(3) = 2/3(3) - 3

= 6/3 - 3

= 2 - 3

= -1, giving the point (3, -1)

Hope this helps! Have an Awesome Day!!  :-)
