<h3>Answer:</h3>

2.2 miles

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you that

... Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

We are given an angle (10°) and its opposite side length (1983 ft), and we are asked to find the hypotenuse (the straight-line distance from the plane to the runway).

... sin(10°) = (1983 ft)/distance

Multiplying by distance and dividing by sin(10°), we have ...

... distance = (1983 ft)/sin(10°) ≈ 11419.6 ft

We want to express this in miles, so we have ...

... 11419.6 ft = (m mi)×(5280 ft/mi)

... (11419.6 ft)/(5280 ft/mi) = m mi ≈ 2.163 mi

Rounding to tenths, the distance is ...

2.2 miles

_____

<em>Comment on the question</em>

The distance from the plane to the airport is different than the horizontal distance from the airport at which the descent must start. The latter distance is the "adjacent" leg of the triangle, so must be found using the tangent function. Rounded to tenths, it is 2.1 miles.

Example question: There are 38 students in a baseball club. The coach needs to split them up into equal groups of 4. How many groups can be made? How many kids are left over?
Answer: You would make groups of 4 to get your quotient (9). Then whatever is NOT in a group is your left over.

What is the probability that 1 or 2 are rolled on a number cube with sides numbered 1, 2, 3, 4,
choli [55]

Answer: \frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

total sides = 6

p (rolling a 1) = \frac{1}{6}

p (rolling a 2) = \frac{1}{6\\}

Note:

or - add

and - multiply

∴ \frac{1}{6} +\frac{1}{6} = \frac{2}{6}

∴ \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}

hence, p (rolling a 1 or 2) = \frac{1}{3}

The function f(x) = –x2 − 2x + 15 is shown on the graph. What are the domain and range of the function? The domain is all real n
dedylja [7]

Answer:

The domain is all real numbers. The range is {y|y ≤ 16}

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

f(x)=-x^{2}-2x+15

This is a the equation of a vertical parabola open downward

The vertex is a maximum

The vertex is the point (-1,16)

see the attached figure

therefore

The domain of the function is all real numbers ----> interval (-∞,∞)

Te range of the function is

y\leq 16

All real numbers less than or equal to 16 ----> interval  (-∞,16]
