Answer:

the altitude of the helicopter is 3925ft

Step-by-step explanation:

we know the angle that is formed between the floor and the distance from the platform to the helicopter (73°)

and we know the distance of the platform (1200 feet)

at the angle we will call it α

and at the distance of 1200 feet we will call it adjacent

we want to know the height that in this case would be the opposite leg to the angle we have

we see that it has (angle, adjacent, opposite)

well to start we have to know the relationship between angles, legas and the hypotenuse

a: adjacent

o: opposite

h: hypotenuse

sin α = o/h

cos α= a/h

tan α = o/a

it's the tangent

tan α = o/a

we replace the values ​​and solve

tan α = o/a

tan 73 = o/1200

3.2708 * 1200 = o

o = 3925

This means that the altitude of the helicopter is 3925ft

Coordinate grid with plotted ordered pairs, point A at negative 5, 4 point B at 4, 7 point C at negative 2, 7 point D at negativ
RideAnS [48]

The answer should be answer A. (A,C,D,K)

You can easily figure this out by just looking at the graph.  Just look at all points that are in the blue region(overlapping shaded area) and see all the points inside.

H is not included because it falls on the dotted line.  Any point that falls on a dotted line does not satisfy both inequalities.

If the line were solid however, then the point would satisfy both inequalities.  This is because the line would include the <em>greater than or equal to</em> symbol "≥" which means that the point <em>could</em> equal to 8 or be less than 8.  Since the symbol is not used, it doesn't satisfy both equations.

Evaluate.<br><br> 21 ÷ 7 + 20 • 102 • 2 – 3
mrs_skeptik [129]
To avoid confusion, remember PEMDAS. This is the order of operation.
Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiply, Divide, Add, Subtract

21 ÷ 7 + 20 * 102 * 2 - 3

No parenthesis and no exponents, proceed to multiplication.

20 * 102 * 2 = 4,080

Then, perform division

21÷7 = 3

Then, do addition

3 + 4080 = 4083

Lastly, do subtraction

4,083 - 3 = 4,080

So, 21 ÷ 7 + 20 * 102 * 2 - 3 = 4,080

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line described.
yarga [219]
The equation for a line is y=mx+b

m is the slope, so when a line is perpendicular to another line is has a slope which is an opposite reciprocal, so change the -1/2 (the slope of the other line) to 2/1 or just 2

so m=2

now you need to plug in the point they give you for x and y 

y=mx+b
4=2(4) + b
simplify
4=8 + b
subtract 8 over
-4 = b 

now that you know that slope (m) and the y-intercept (b) you can plug those two numbers into the original equation for the answer

y= 2x -4
