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"

seraphim [82]

Answer:

26 i think

Step-by-step explanation:

since the 3 dogs are 2 feet tall you would multiply them then multiply 4 by 5 and get 20 and 3x2 is 6 you add it up and get 26

Triangle XYZ was dilated by a scale factor of 2 to create triangle ACB and cos ∠X = 2.5 over 5 and 59 hundredths. Triangles XYZ
adell [148]

Dilation involves changing the size of a shape

<h3>How to determine the relationship between the trigonometry ratios</h3>

From the question, we understand that:

The dilation of triangle XYZ gives triangle ACB

This means that, the following are corresponding points

  • Points X and A
  • Points Y and C
  • Points Z and B

The above means that:

The relationships between the trigonometry ratios of both triangles are:

cos(X) = cos(A), cos(Y) = cos(C) and cos(Z) = cos(B)

<h3>How to determine the measures of segments AC and AB</h3>

In (a), segments XY and XZ corresponds to the segments AC and AB

So, the product of the lengths of XY and XZ and the scale factor will result in the lengths of AC and AB,

i.e.

AC = 2 * XY and AB = 2 * XZ

Find the volume of the cube
Svet_ta [14]

This is a rectangular prism.  Its volume is V = (length)(width)(height).

Here, V = (10 cm)(3 cm)(2 cm) = 60 cm^3.

Identify a transformation of the function f(x) = x by observing the equation of the function g(x) = x − 16.
navik [9.2K]

The transformations are

  • (b) A vertical shift 16 units downward.
  • (d) A horizontal shift 16 units to the right

<h3>How to determine the transformation?</h3>

The functions are given as:

f(x) = x

g(x)= x - 16

When a function is shifted right, the transformation rule is:

(x, y) = (x - h, y)

This means that the transformation is (d) A horizontal shift 16 units to the right

Since the parent function is a base linear function.

The transformation can also be represented as:

(x, y) = (x, k - h)

This gives

g(x)= x - 16

This means that the transformation is (b) A vertical shift 16 units downward.

Hence, the transformations are (b) and (d)
