What is the best approximation of the length of segment QS? (Note: cos 80° = 0.17)

Answer: QS=11.8cm


Step-by-step explanation:

1. You have the following information:

- The lenght of RS is 2 centimeters.

- The angle m∠S=80°.

- Cos80°=0.17

2. Therefore, you can calculate the lenght of the segment QS as following:

cos80=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

adjacent=2cm\\hypotenuse=QS\\cos80=0.17

3. Substitute values and solve for QS:

0.17=\frac{2cm}{QS}\\QS=\frac{2cm}{0.17} \\QS=11.76cm

4. To the nearest tenth:

QS=11.8cm

What is the y-intercep is (0,-1) and slope is 4
lana [24]

Answer:

y = 4x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you require the equation of the line.

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = 4 and c = - 1, thus

y = 4x - 1 ← equation of line

An airplane is flying at 180mph. A jet flying at 330 mph leaves 1 hour later traveling in the same direction. How long will it t
zimovet [89]

To solve this problem, let us first assign some variables. Let us say that:

v1 = velocity of airplane = 180 mph

t1 = time travelled by airplane

v2 = velocity of jet = 330 mph

t2 = time travelled by jet

 

Since we know that distance is the product of velocity and time, and that the distance travelled by the two must be equal for the jet to catch up to the plane, hence:

v1 * t1 = v2 * t2

But we know that:

t1 = t2 + 1

Therefore:

180 (t2 + 1) = 330 t2

180 t2 + 180 = 330 t2

150 t2 = 180

t2 = 1.2 hours

 

<span>Therefore the jet can catch up to the plane after 1.2 hours it takes off.</span>
