An observer (O) spots a plane (P) taking off from a local airport and flying at a 33° angle
1 answer:
Answer: 10,779 feets
Step-by-step explanation:
From the sketch attached ;
∠POT is the Angle of elevation = 33°
Height of tower = 7000 Feets
Taking the triangle POT
WHERE PT = 7000 Feets (Opposite)
Distance (d) between the bird and plane is the ADJACENT,
NOTE: (BP = OT = d)
Taking the tangent of the angle of elevation;
Tan Θ = opposite / Adjacent
Tan 33° = 7000 / d
Cross multiply
d × 0.6494075 = 7000
d = 7000 / 0.6494075
d = 10779.054 = 10,779 feets

Answer:
C. (8, 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
To find which point is not on the graph, find which set of coordinates makes the equation incorrect.
When plugged into the equation, the point (8, 2) makes it incorrect:
y = 10 + x
2 = 10 + 8
2 = 18
2 18
The equation is incorrect because 2 is not equal to 18.
So, the point that is not on the graph is C. (8, 2)
