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

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

you should play the game with the probability of winning is one tenth

Step-by-step explanation:

If the probability of winning an instant prize game is one tenth, <u>then the odds in the game can be described as 1:9</u> . The odds are clearly better than the game with odds 1:10.

In other words,

If the odds of winning a instant prize game are​ 1:10, <u>then the probability of winning the game is one eleventh</u>. This is a lower probability than the game which has the probability of winning one tenth.

What is the x-intercept and the y-intercept for x+2y=8
Ierofanga [76]
To find the x-intercept, you need to set y equal to zero(think about this on a  graph!)
This will become:
x + 2(0) = 8
If we remove the unnecessary zero:
x = 8
That's the x intercept, which can be expressed as the point (8,0).

To find the y-intercept, you need to set x equal to zero(again, think about that on a graph!)
This becomes:
0 + 2y = 8
Remove the unnecessary 0:
2y = 8
Divide both sides by 2:
y = 4
There ya go! Or, in point form: (0, 4)

Hope this helped! :)

What is the best estimate for the length of a bike
castortr0y [4]
<span>The average length of a bike (including the length of both wheels) is about 68 inches.For finding the true answer we must follow the following convertion rule: 1 inch is equivalent to 0.02 yard, so 68 inches equal to 1.88 yards. Consequently, the value nearest 1.88 yards is 1.5 yards, so the answer is the choice A: 1.5 yards. </span>
