A helicopter hovers 1250 feet

1 answer:

8 0

Create a right triangle.

The height of the leg will be 1250 feet. We are given an angle of depression of 47°, so we can draw an imaginary line parallel to the base of the triangle.

By the AIA Theorem, the angle of the bottom right side of the right triangle will be 47 degrees.

We want to find the distance between the coast and the island. In other words, find the length of the base of the triangle. We can do so with trigonometric ratios.

tan47 = 1250/x

x = 1166.

How to find the measure of yz

stira [4]

Use the Law of Sines (sina/A=sinb/B=sinc/C for any triangle)

YZ/sin30=50/sin90

YZ=50sin30 (sin90=1 :P)

YZ=25m

Use the 30,60,90° triangle ratios 1, √3, 2

YZ/1=50/2

YZ=25m

Using the Pythagorean Theorem....

(2*25)^2=YZ^2+(√3*YZ)^2

2500=YZ^2+3YZ^2

2500=4YZ^2

625=YZ^2

25m=YZ

How do I write the sum of two numbers as the product of their GCF and another sum

Delicious77 [7]

Let's assume we were given 2 numbers: 15 and 30. Their sum is:
$15+30 = 45$
We want to express it as the product of GCF and another sum.
15 is divisible by: 1, 3, 5, 15
30 is divisible by: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30
The greatest number that appears in 2 series is 15.
$\frac{15}{15} = 1$
$\frac{30}{15} = 2$
In this case sum of two numbers can always be written as:
$15+30 = (15\cdot 1) + (15\cdot 2) = 15\cdot (1+2) = 15\cdot 3 = 45$
