Answer:

40 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The fiagram shows the right triangle (one angle is right angle).

By the Pythagorean theorem,

$\text{Leg}_1^2+\text{Leg}_2^2=\text{Hypotenuse}^2$

From the diagram,

$\text{Leg}_1=24\ ft\\ \\\text{Leg}_2=32\ ft\\ \\\text{Hypotenuse}=c\ ft,$

then

$24^2+32^2=c^2\\ \\c^2=576+1,024\\ \\c^2=1,600\\ \\c^2=40^2\\ \\c=40\ ft$

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{7\ \text{inches}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

As I mentioned earlier with a single side (line), rotations do not change the size of something. Only dilations do that. This goes for both lines AND shapes.

However, if the question said she dilated the piece, then yes, the length in inches would be different. However, rotation just changes the position and nothing happens to the length.

Hope this helped!

A plane is flying 3900 m above the ground level. The angle of elevation from the control tower to the plane is

Tcecarenko [31]

The horizontal distance to the control tower is approximately 18506.83m

Data;

distance from the ground = 3900m
angle of elevation = 11.4 degrees
horizontal distance = ?

<h3>Trigonometric Ratio</h3>

To solve this problem, we need to use trigonometric ratio SOHCAHTOA.

In this case, we have the value of opposite and angle and we need to find the adjacent to the angle. The tangent of the angle would be perfect for this.

$tan\theta = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} \\tan11.4 = \frac{3900}{x}\\x = \frac{3900}{tan11.4}\\ x = 18506.83m$
