A plane flying horizontally at an altitude of 3 mi and a speed of 440 mi/h passes directly over a radar station. find the rate a

t which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing when it is 4 mi away from the station. (round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

The distance is increasing at a rate that is the speed of the plane multiplied by the cosine of the angle between its flight path and the direct line to the radar station. That cosine is 4/√(3²+4²) = 4/5, so the distance is increasing at
  440 mi/h × 4/5 = 352 mi/h

7(9) = 9(7)
vivado [14]

Answer:

A) Commutative

Step-by-step explanation:

The Associative has to do with re-grouping numbers. There are only two numbers so this does not apply here. Commutative is where you change the order; that's what the equation is demonstrating.

Copy DEF to the line so that S is the vertex. This task will be complete when you have constructed an angle with vertex S that i
tino4ka555 [31]

Explanation:

There are numerous videos and web sites that can show you the process of copying an angle. Some are animated. The best we can do here is show you a diagram with instructions. Of course, your curriculum materials already provide that.

__

1. Set the compass to a convenient radius. Use that to draw an arc through rays ED and EF, using point E as the center.

2. Without changing the compass setting, draw a similar arc using S as the center, making sure it crosses the line containing S and extends far enough to accommodate the following steps. (In the attached, we show a full circle, because the tool we used won't draw an arc with a specific radius.)

3. Mark the points where the arc crosses ED as G, and where it crosses EF as H. Mark the point where the arc crosses the line containing S as I.

4. Set the compass radius to the distance GH. Using I as the center draw an arc with that radius so that it crosses the one made in step 2. Call that intersection point J. (Again, we have shown a circle because of the limitations of the tool being used for our diagram.)

5. Draw ray SJ to complete the angle copy.
