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

Billy received a raise after his first year on the job to $45,000 from his initial salary of $42,400. What was his real raise st
solong [7]

Billy get 5.9% raise after completing first year.

<h3>What is PERCENTAGE?</h3>

A percentage is a number or ratio that can be expressed as a fraction of 100. If we have to calculate percent of a number, divide the number by the whole and multiply by 100.

Here, Billy's initial salary = $ 42,500

After raise, salary become $ 45,000

Change in salary = Raised salary - Initial salary

                            = 45000 - 42500

                            = $ 2500

% Change = change / initial salary  X 100

                  = 2500 / 42500 X 100

                  = 0.0589 X 100

                  ≈ 5.9 %

Thus, Billy get 5.9% raise after completing first year.

What is the measure of angle XYZ?
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

63degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the theorem which states that the measure of angle at the vertex is half the angle of its intercepted arc.

Given

angle of its intercepted arc = 126 degree

Required

angle at the vertex = x =<XYZ

According to the theorem;

x = 1/2(126)

x = 126/2

x = 63

Hence the measure of <XYZ is 63degrees
