Answer:

2,712.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d =  the horizontal distance from Charlie to the plane.

By definition,

tan(32°) = 1694.8/d  

1694.8/d = 0.6249

d = 1694.8/0.6249 = 2712.2 ft

Answer:

2720 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

u can draw a right triangle whose opposite side is 1700 feet, the adjacent side is the ground distance from Charlie to the plane (x), and the angle between theses sides is 32°.

Then, tan (32°) = 1700 feet / x => x = 1700 feet / tan(32°) = 1700 feet / 0.625 = 2720 feet.

An object’s weight on Earth varies directly to its weight on the Moon. If a man weighs 180 kg on Earth, then he will weigh 30 kg
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

The gravity of the Moon is about one sixth that of the Earth. For example, an astronaut weighing 180 pounds on the Earth would weigh about 30 pounds on the Moon.

Write an equation of a line passing through point p(4, 0) that is parallel to the line -x+2y=12​
dedylja [7]

Answer:

y  = \frac{1}{2}x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

    Coordinates = p(4,0)

  Equation of the line   -x+2y=12​

Solution:

A line parallel to the given line will have the same slope as it is;

     -x+2y=12​

          2y = x + 12

            y = \frac{1}{2}x + \frac{12}{2}

 Since this conforms to y = mx + c where;

    x and y are the coordinates

    m is the slope

   c is the intercept

Our slope is \frac{1}{2}

The equation of the line is

      y = mx + c

let us find c;

     c  = y - mx

     c = 0 - (\frac{1}{2} x 4)

     c = -2

Now the equation of the line parallel to the line given is;

     y  = \frac{1}{2}x - 2

A food company distributes its tomato soup in two cans of different sizes. For the larger can, both the diameter and the height
Lady_Fox [76]

Problem

A food company distributes its tomato soup in two cans of different sizes. For the larger can, both the diameter and the height have been increased by 15%.

By what percentage does the volume increase from the smaller can to the larger can? Round your answer to the nearest percent. ​

Solution

the volume of a cylinder is given by:

V=\pi r^2h

We know that the diameter=radius and the height are increased by 15% so then the new volume can be calculated on this way:

V=\pi(1.15r)^2\cdot(1.15h)=1.15^2\cdot1.15\cdot\pi\cdot r^2\cdot h=1.52\pi r^2h

And the new volume would increase about 52%
