Answer:

299.99 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the plane traveled due west,

The total angle is 49.17 + 90

Represent that with θ

θ = 49.17 + 90

θ = 139.17.

Represent the sides as

A = 170

B = 150

C = unknown

Since, θ is opposite side C, side C can be calculated using cosine formula as;

C² = A² + B² - 2ABCosθ

Substitute values for A, B and θ

C² = 150² + 170² - 2 * 150 * 170 * Cos 139.17

C² = 22500 + 28900 - 51000 * Cos 139.17

C² = 51400 - 51000 (−0.7567)

C² = 51400 + 38,591.7

C² = 89,991.7

Take Square Root of both sides

C = 299.9861663477167

C = 299.99 miles (Approximated)

Hence, the distance between the plane and the airport is 299.99 miles

The sum of the digits of a 2-digit number is 10. If 18 is added to the number, the digits of the new number are those of the ori

Aliun [14]

Answer:

46

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $(ab)$ represent a number with $a$ in the ten's position and $b$ is the one's position.

This means $(ab)$ actually has value of $10a+b$ .

We are given the sum of those digits of $(ab)$ is 10; this means $a+b=10$ .

It says if 18 is added to the number $(ab)$ , then the result is $(ba)$ .

So $(ab)$ has value $10a+b$ and

$(ba)$ has value $10b+a$ .

We are given then:

$(ab)+18=(ba)$

$10a+b+18=10b+a$

Subtract $10a$ on both sides:

$b+18=10b+a-10a$

Simplify:

$b+18=10b-9a$

Subtract $b$ on both sides:

$18=10b-b-9a$

$18=9b-9a$

Divide both sides by 9:

$2=b-a$

Rearrange by commutative property:

$2=-a+b$

So the system of equations we want to solve is:

$a+b=10$

$-a+b=2$

-------------------------Add equations together (this will eliminate the variable $a$ and allow you to go ahead and solve for $b$ :

$0+2b=12$

$2b=12$

Divide both sides by 2:

$b=\frac{12}{2}$

Simplify:

$b=6$

If $b=6$ and $a+b=10$ , then $a=4$ . $a=4$ since 4+6=10.

So the original number is (46).

18 more than 46 is 18+46=(64) which is what we wanted.

We also have the sum of 4 and 6 is 10 as well.
