a plane takes off at an angle of 30 degrees and reaches a height of 10 miles. what is the diagonal distance it has traveled from
take off to its current position
1 answer:
Answer:
20 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
We apply trigonometry and using the attached illustration, we know that sine of an angle is the ratio of opposite to hypotenuse. In this case, the hypotenuse is the diagonal in question.
Sin 30°=10/hypotenuse
Hypotenuse=10/sin30°=10/0.5=20 miles
Therefore, the plane has gone a diagonal distance equivalent to 20 miles from its take off position

of the candy is not m&m's.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Total pieces of candy = 140
Number of m&m's = 35
Fraction =
Fraction =
Both 35 and 140 are multiples of 7, therefore,
Fraction of m&m's =
As the number of m&m's fraction and not m&m's fraction will make a total of 1, therefore
fraction of m&m's + fraction of not m&m's = 1
fraction of not m&m's = 1 - fraction of m&m's
fraction of not m&m's =
fraction of not m&m's =
of the candy is not m&m's.
