A small plane and a large plane are 6.8km from each other, at the same altitude (height). From an observation tower, the two air

planes are separated by an angle of 58°. The large plane is 5.2km from the observation tower. a. Draw a diagram to represent this situation. b. How far is the small plane from the observation tower, to the nearest tenth of a kilometer?

Answer:

7.9km

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)See attached for the diagram representing this situation.

(b)

In Triangle ABC

\text{Using Law of Sines}\\\dfrac{\sin A}{a}=\dfrac{\sin C}{c} \\\dfrac{\sin A}{5.2}=\dfrac{\sin 58^\circ}{6.8} \\\sin A=5.2 \times \dfrac{\sin 58^\circ}{6.8}\\A=\arcsin (5.2 \times \dfrac{\sin 58^\circ}{6.8})\\A=40.43^\circ

Next, we determine the value of Angle B.

\angle A+\angle B+\angle C=180^\circ\\40.43+58+\angle B=180^\circ\\\angle B=180^\circ-(40.43+58)\\\angle B=81.57^\circ

Finally, we find b.

\text{Using Law of SInes}\\\dfrac{b}{\sin B}=\dfrac{c}{\sin C} \\\dfrac{b}{\sin 81.57^\circ}=\dfrac{6.8}{\sin 58^\circ} \\b=\dfrac{6.8}{\sin 58^\circ} \times \sin 81.57^\circ\\b=7.9km $ (to the nearest tenth of a kilometer)

The distance between the small plane and the observation tower is 7.9km.

A firm produces 16,200 units at a total cost of $37,585.60. Find the cost per unit to the nearest cent.
Julli [10]
There are a total of 16 200 units with a total costs of 37 585.60 dollars. Now, Given with the choices for the answer, let's find out which one is correct. To be able to get the answer, simply divide the total costs, with the total number of units.  => 37 585.60 dollars  / 16 200 units  => 2.3201 dollars per unit.Next, we need to round this cents to the nearest given options.Since the number next to hundredths is less than 5 , the let's round it to : => 2.32. - this is the correct answer.<span>

Solve for (f+g)(5) if f(x)=6x+3 and g(x)=x-4 show you work please
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
There are two ways to do this.

The first way is to algebraically find (f+g)(x) first and plug in x = 5 later. Doing that method leads us to
(f+g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)
(f+g)(x) = 6x+3 + x-4
(f+g)(x) = 7x-1
(f+g)(5) = 7(5)-1
(f+g)(5) = 34

OR

you can compute f(5) and g(5) first, then add up those sub-results to get
f(x) = 6x+3
f(5) = 6(5)+3
f(5) = 33
g(x) = x-4
g(5) = 5-4
g(5) = 1
Adding up these results gives: (f+g)(5) = f(5) + g(5) = 33+1 = 34

Either way, the final answer is 34
