Answer:

x=1174\ feet

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Right Triangle </u>

It's a special type of triangle where one of its internal angles is 90°. The basic trigonometric formulas apply to relate lengths and angles. If h is the opposite side to the angle \theta, and x is the adjacent side of the same angle, then

\displaystyle tan\theta =\frac{h}{x}

Or, equivalently

\displaystyle x =\frac{h}{tan\theta}

The helicopter, ground and the two soldiers form two right triangles, as shown in the image below. Let's call x1 the distance from soldier 1 to the point O, then

\displaystyle x_1 =\frac{h}{tan53^o}

\displaystyle x_1 =\frac{1200}{tan53^o}

x_1=904 \ feet

Now for x2, the distance from soldier 2 to the point O

\displaystyle x_2 =\frac{1200}{tan30^o}

x_2=2078\ feet

The distance between the soldiers is  

x=2078\ feet-904\ feet

\boxed{x=1174\ feet}

a 400 g of a liquid of density 1.6g/cm3 is made from mixing liquids of density 1.2g/cm3 and 1.8g/cm3 find the mass of the liquid
gogolik [260]

Answer:

133.33g

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the:

Mass of 1.2g/cm³ of liquid = x

Mass of 1.8g/cm³ of liquid = y

From our Question above, our system of equations is given as:

x + y = 400........ Equation 1

x = 400 - y

1.2 × x + 1.8 × y = 1.6 × 400

1.2x + 1.8y = 640..... Equation 2

We substitute, 400 - y for x in Equation 2

1.2(400 - y) + 1.8y = 640

480 - 1.2y + 1.8y = 640

- 1.2y + 1.8y = 640 - 480

0.6y = 160

y = 160/0.6y

y = 266.67 g

Solving for x

x = 400 - y

x = 400 - 266.67g

x = 133.33g

Therefore, the mass of the liquid of density 1.2g/cm³ is 133.33g
