A helicopter hovers at an altitude that is 1000 feet above a mountain of altitude 5210 feet. A second, taller peak is viewed fro

m both the mountaintop and the helicopter. from the helicopter, the angle of depression is 43, and the mountaintop, the angle of depression is 19 degree. how far apart are the mountain peaks? what is the altitude of the taller peak?

Given: 

Height of Mountain A = 5210 feet
Distance of Mountain A from a helicopter above the peak = 1000 feet
Angle of depression:
       Mountain B to helicopter = 43 degrees
       Mountain B to Mountain A = 19 degrees
 
 First, draw an illustration and label the enumerated given values.

Observe that there are two right triangles formed:

From the triangle formed by the helicopter and Mountain B, 

let x = total height of mountain B
     y = leg of first triangle (helicopter and mountain b)
     h = hypotenuse
Use the Pythagorean Theorem:

cos (43) = y / h

From the second triangle formed by mountain b and a,

cos (19) = (1000 + y) / h

solve for h and y

then, solve for the height of Mountain B:

x = 1000 + y + 5210

two blocks of wood are shaped as right rectangular prism the smaller block has a length of 9 cm and a width of 3 cm and a height
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

1512 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

Volume of right rectangular prism = Length × Breadth × Height

As given

Two blocks of wood are shaped as right rectangular prisms.

The smaller block has a length of 9 cm, a width of 3 cm, and a height of 7 cm.

As given

The dimensions of the larger block are double the dimensions of the smaller block.

Length of the larger block = 2 × Length of the smaller block

                                           = 2 × 9

                                           = 18 cm

Breadth of the larger block = 2 × Breadth of the smaller block

                                           = 2 × 3

                                           = 6 cm

Height of the larger block = 2 × Height of the smaller block

                                           = 2 × 7

                                           = 14 cm

Put in the formula

Volume of larger wooden block = 18 × 6 × 14

                                                    = 1512 cm³

Therefore the volume of the wooden block is 1512 cm³ .
