Mr. and Mrs. Storey drove 2,400 miles during their vacation. Mr. Storey (y) drove 3 times as many miles as Mrs. Storey (x).

1 answer:

5 0

X + y = 2400
y = 3x

x + 3x = 2400
4x = 2400
x = 2400/4
x = 600 <== Mrs. Storey drove 600 miles

y = 3x
y = 3(600)
y = 1800 <== Mr. Storey drove 1800 miles

You are sitting at the edge of the Grand Canyon admiring the view when you notice a tour group at the bottom of the canyon. You

Answer:

7949.13 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

Angle of depression from the spot to the group = 39°

Height of Grand Canyon = 5000 feet.

So, we will get the following figure of a right triangle.

As, 'in a right triangle, the angles and the sides can be written in trigonometric form'.

We get, $\sin A=\frac{perpendicular}{hypotenuse}$

i.e. $\sin 39=\frac{5000}{x}$

i.e. $x=\frac{5000}{\sin 39}$

i.e. $x=\frac{5000}{0.629}$

i.e. x = 7949.13 feet

Thus, the line of sight distance is 7949.13 feet.
