Two search teams spot a stranded climber on a mountain. The first search team is 0.5 miles from the second search team. If the a

ngle of elevation from the first search team to the stranded climber is 15° and the angle of elevation from the second search team is 22° to the stranded climber, what is the altitude of the climber if both search teams are standing at an altitude of 1 mile high?

Answer:

The altitude of the climber is 1.40 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

<em>In the right triangle BCD</em>

tan(22°)=h/(x-0.5)

h=tan(22°)*(x-0.5) ----> equation A

<em>In the right triangle ACD</em>

tan(15°)=h/x

h=tan(15°)*(x) ----> equation B

Equate equation A and equation B and solve for x

tan(22°)*(x-0.5)=tan(15°)*(x)

tan(22°)*x-tan(22°)*0.5=tan(15°)*x

x[tan(22°)-tan(15°)]=tan(22°)*0.5

x=tan(22°)*0.5/[tan(22°)-tan(15°)]

x=1.48 miles

Find the value oh h

h=tan(15°)*(1.48)=0.40 miles

therefore

The altitude of the climber is equal to

0.40+1=1.40 miles

At what time since leaving their flowers do Bee 1 and Bee 2 have the same distance remaining?
GrogVix [38]

By reading the given graph with the two linear functions, we want to see at which time do the two bees have the same distance remaining. We will see that the correct option is B, 6 minutes.

So, in the graph, we have distance remaining on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis.

We also have two lines, each one describing the distance of each bee as a function of time.

We want to see at which time do the two bees have the same distance remaining, thus, we need to see when the lines intersect (this means that for the same time, the two bees have the same distance remaining).

In the graph, we can see that the intersection happens at the time of 6 minutes, thus the correct option is B; 6 minutes.

If you want to learn more about linear function's graphs, you can read:

Complete the following statements.
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

A soda bottle contains 2 liters of liquid. Therefore:

The soda bottle contains  67.62 fluid ounces of liquid.

The soda bottle contains 0.525  gallons of liquid.

2) A milk jug contains 2 gallons of milk. Therefore:

The milk jug contains 8  quarts of milk.

The milk jug contains 7.6 liters of milk.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to complete the statements.

1)

A soda bottle contains 2 liters of liquid. Therefore:

The soda bottle contains -------  fluid ounces of liquid.

  • Converting Liters to fluid ounces

We know that 1 liter = 33.81 fluid ounces

So,  2 liter = 2 x 33.81 = 67.62 fluid ounces

The soda bottle contains 67.62  fluid ounces of liquid.

The soda bottle contains  gallons of liquid.

  • Converting liters to gallons

As, we are not given direct conversion from liters to gallons, first we convert liter to quarts and then convert quarts to gallons

We know that

1 liter = 1.05 quarts

2 liters = 2 x 1.05 = 2.1 quarts

4 quarts = 1 gallon

1 quarts = 1/4 gallon

2.1 quarts = 1/4 * 2.1 = 0.525 gallon

The soda bottle contains 0.525  gallons of liquid.

2)

A milk jug contains 2 gallons of milk. Therefore:

The milk jug contains -------- quarts of milk.

  • Converting gallons to quarts

We know:

1 gallon = 4 quarts

2 gallons = 2 x 4 = 8 quarts

The milk jug contains 8 quarts of milk.

The milk jug contains ------  liters of milk.

  • Converting gallons to liters

We know:

1 gallon = 4 quarts

2 gallon = 8 quarts

1.05 quarts = 1 liter

1 quarts = 1/1.05 liter

8 quarts = 1/1.05 * 8 = 7.6 liter

The milk jug contains 7.6 liters of milk.

Anything will help please
svp [43]

The way that I memorised how to do sin, cos, and tan is by the following: SOH, CAH, TOA

SOH = Sin is OPPOSITE / HYPOTENUSE

CAH = Cos is ADJACENT / HYPOTENUSE

TOA = Tan is OPPOSITE / ADJACENT

For example if we were to solve question 5

Sin T = 6 root 2 / 19

Cos T = 17 / 19

Tan T = 6 root 2 / 17

Repeat the steps for question 6

For the rest of the questions (7,8,9) you have to take the information given and figure out if you should us Sin, cos, or Tan. then plug the numbers in the calculator and while doing sin ^ -1, cos ^ -1, tan ^ -1

for example on question 7, to find the angle x they have given you the hypotenuse and the adjacent side so

cos x = 9 / 18

to find x plug: cos^-1 (9/18) in the calculator
