Answer: The answer is 767.72 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to use tan since the problem requires u finding out the distance from the airport and ship and u only have the height of the balloon and the angle of depression. So then the equation becomes :

Tan21 = x/2000

Then you multiply by 2000 on both sides:

Tan21(2000) = x(2000)

The equation then becomes:

X= Tan21(2000)

so then x is: 767.72 ft

The horizontal distance is given by the formula:
tan θ=opposite/adjacent
where:
θ=21
opposite=2000 ft
adjacent=a
thus calculating for a we get:
tan 21=2000/a
thus
a=2000/tan 21
a=5210.18 ft

Answer: 5210.18 ft

The ice cream shop offers 31 flavors. you order a double scoop cone how many different ways can the clerk put the ice cream on t
Lynna [10]

Answer:

465

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are looking for the the number of combinations to have 2 different flavors in the ice cream, we can use the formula for combination.

_{n}C_{k}=\dfrac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}

Our variables are:

n = 31

k = 2

_{31}C_{2}=\dfrac{31!}{2!(31-2)!}

_{31}C_{2}=\dfrac{31!}{2!29!}

_{31}C_{2}=\dfrac{31!}{2!29!}

_{31}C_{2}=465

The number of possible combinations of having 2 different flavors out of 31 different flavors is 465.

What is the solution to the system of equations below?<br>2x+3y = 17<br>3x+6y= 30​
brilliants [131]

Answer:

<h2>x = 4, y = 3 → (4, 3)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x+3y=17&\text{multiply both sides by (-2)}\\3x+6y=30\end{array}\right\\\underline{+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}-4x-6y=-34\\3x+6y=30\end{array}\right}\qquad\text{add both sides of the equations}\\.\qquad-x=-4\qquad\text{change the signs}\\.\qquad x=4\\\\\text{put the value of x to the first equation:}\\\\2(4)+3y=17\\8+3y=17\qquad\text{subtract 8 from both sides}\\3y=9\qquad\text{divide both sides by 3}\\y=3
