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

Answer:

11 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone formula is:

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h

Where V is the volume,

r is the radius (half of diameter)

h is the height

Given,

h = 15

V = 475.17

We find the radius (r) first by substituting given values:

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h\\475.17=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 (15)\\475.17=5\pi r^2\\r^2=30.25\\r=5.5

The radius (r) is 5.5 yards

We need the diameter, which is DOUBLE THE RADIUS, so diameter would be:

Diameter = 5.5 * 2 = 11 yards
