A plane flying horizontally at an altitude of 3 mi and a speed of 440 mi/h passes directly over a radar station. find the rate a

t which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing when it is 4 mi away from the station. (round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

Let α represent the acute angle between the horizontal and the straight line from the plane to the station. If the 4-mile measure is the straight-line distance from the plane to the station, then
  sin(α) = 3/4
and
  cos(α) = √(1 - (3/4)²) = (√7)/4

The distance from the station to the plane is increasing at a rate that is the plane's speed multiplied by the cosine of the angle α. Hence the plane–station distance is increasing at the rate of
  (440 mph)×(√7)/4 ≈ 291 mph

A quadrilateral has its interior angles X, 47, 95, 82. Find<br>the value of x​
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

x=136

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the measure of the sum of the interior angles use the formula (n-2) times 180 where n is the number of sides.

A quadrilateral has 4 sides. (4-2) times 180. 2 times 180=360

The sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360.

x+47+95+82=360

x+ 224 = 360

x= 136
