Answer: the horizontal distance travelled is 2352 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The altitude of the airplane, the horizontal distance that it travelled and the angle, θ formed with the ground combine to form a right angle triangle.

The horizontal distance that it travelled represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

The altitude that it reached represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle. To determine the horizontal distance that it has travelled, h, we would apply the tangent trigonometric ratio which is expressed

Tan θ = opposite side/adjacent side

Therefore,

Tan 12 = 500/h

h = 500/Tan 12 = 500/0.2126

h = 2352 feet

The school store marks up the price of all items by 30% before selling to
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

$65.325 or $65.33

Step-by-step explanation:

When looking for a percentage in a number, you want to multiply that number by the percentage. Remember that all percentages are to the hundreth power, or 0.00. So if you want to find 30% of 50.25, you multiply it by 0.30 or 0.3. After calculating that you will come up with 15.075 as the percentage. Since the store is marking the price up, you add it to the original price. So your equation is 50.25 + 15.075 =?. After calculating that, you get the answer 65.325. That is only half of your answer though because, when dealing with money, you always round to the nearest hundredth. So when you round 65.325, you get 65.33 which should be the correct answer.

Evaluate.<br> 21 + } + (-)) -<br> Enter your answer as a mixed number in simplest form in the box.
andrew-mc [135]

Evaluate: 2(1/4) + 2/5 ÷ (-1/2) - 1/4

⇛9/4 + 2/5 ÷ (-1/2) - 1/4

Take the LCM of the 4 and 5 is 20.

Again, 2 and 4 is 4.

⇛[(54+8)/20] ÷ [(-2 - 1)/4]

⇛62/20 ÷ (-3/4)

⇛62/20 × 4/-3

⇛62/{5*(-3)}

⇛62/-15.
