The elevation gained after travelling 1.5 miles =  3960 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data,

  Angle of elevation = 30°

  Distance traveled= 1.5 miles

  1 mile = 5280 ft.

Therefore 1.5 miles = 5280 x 1.5

                                = 7920 ft.

 The height can be calculated by,

       sin 30° = height / 7920

              1/2 = height / 7920

       Height = 7920/2

                   = 3960 ft.

The elevation gained after travelling 1.5 miles will be 3960 ft.

an NFL team kicker misses 2 out of every 11 field goals if he missed 8 filed goals throughout the season how many did he attempt
Aleks [24]
For this equation, you want to do it in fractions/ratios to properly solve it. You would have his average misses out of every field goal and his real missed attempts over total. It would look like this

\frac{2}{11}  =   \frac{8}{x}

You want to solve for x since x is the total amount of field goals that he attempted. You can do this by doing cross multiplication:

(2)(x) = (8)(11)

From here you can get:

2x = 88

Divide each side by 2 to isolate x and you get:

x=  44

So he made a total of 44 field goals.

Answer:

6394

Step-by-step explanation:

WXYZ

X < Z

Z = ⅔W

W = ⅔Y

Y = 3X

W = ⅔(3X) = 2X

Z = ⅔(2X) = (4/3)X

X has to be a multiple of 3

If X = 3,

Y = 9

Z = 4

W = 6
