A pilot flying at an altitude of 1.8km sights the runway directly in front of her. The angle of depression to the beginning of t

he runway is 31 degrees. The angle of depression to the end of the runway is 23 degrees. What is the length of the runway? Round to the nearest tenth of a kilometer.

Answer:

The answer is a

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance from the near end of the runway to the plane, divided by the altitude is the tangent of (90 degrees minus the angle of depression). Let "d1" be the distance to the near end of the runway, and "d2" be the distance to the far end of the runway. Let "a" be the altitude of the plane.


d1/a = tan(90 - 31)


d1 = a*tan(90 - 31)


d2/a = tan(90 - 23)


d2 = a*tan(90 - 23)


runway length = d2 - d1 = a*(tan(67) - tan(59))


length = 1800*(.6916) = 1245m = 1.2km


the answer is "a"

Which correlation coefficient will most likely describe the relationship between frequency of teeth brushing and the number of c
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

The correct approach is "-62". A further explanation is described below.

Explanation:

  • A dependent variable could be seen since the blackheads become triggered whenever some substance or material is deposited between some of the teeth.
  • Humans don't brush their teeth frequently, but there is still a significant possibility of decay, so cavities differ depending upon whether the specific teeth become brushed.

If 800g of a radioactive substance are present initially and 8 years later only 450g remain, how much of the substance will be p
artcher [175]

A=Pe^(rt)

P = 800g

t = 8 years

A = 450g

r = This is what we will try and find to start with

450=800e^(r*8)

After running the math through a calculator, we end with r = -0.07192

Now we just re-input this information into our equation: A=800e^(-0.07192*16)

A=800e^(1.15072)

Now we will re-write the equation using the negative exponent rule:

A = 800 1/e^1.15072

Combine right side:

A = 800/e^1.15072

Then do the math:

A = 253.12709836......

That will give us A = 253 (rounded to the whole number)

I hope this helps! :)

For a map a scale of 2 inches to 70 miles is used. If the distance on the map measures 1.8 inches what is the actual distance
asambeis [7]

Answer:

63 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

2/70 = 1.8/x                           Cross multiply

2x = 70 * 1.8                          Combine

2x = 126                                Divide by 2

x = 126/2

x = 63

The actual distance is 63 miles.
