We are given : 5a^2-25a

Please note: We always check Greatest Common Factor (GCF) first when factoring a polynomial.

If Greatest Common Factor (GCF) exist we factor out GCF.

In the given polynomial, we can see that greatest common factor of 5a^2 and 25a is 5a.

So, we would factor out GCF 5a first.

In order to factor out GCF, we need to divide all terms of the polynomila by GCF we got.

If we factor out 5a from 5a^2 -25a, we need to divide 5a^2 and -25a by 5a.

On dividing 5a^2 by 5a we get a and

on dividing -25a by 5a we get -5.

Therefore, on factoring out 5a, we get

5a(a-5).

Therefore, we use Greatest Common Factor (GCF) method of factoring.

An aircraft is approaching the runway to land The aircraft is at a height of h= 314 meters from the runway. The angle of
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

easy peasy

Step-by-step explanation:

u see,

the height of the airplane from the ground is 314m

but with the tower's horizontal plane, it would be

=> altitude of aircraft - height of tower

=> 314 - 70 = 244 m

now in the ABC,

using the ratio of sine,

sin 16 = AB/AC

=> 0.275 = 244/AC

=> AC = 244/ 0.275

=> AC = 887.9...

=> AC = approx. 886 meters
