An observer (O) spots a plane flying at a 42° angle to his horizontal line of sight. If the plane is flying at an altitude of 15

,000 ft., what is the distance (x) from the plane (P) to the observer (O)? (4 points) A right triangle is shown with angle O marked 42 degrees, hypotenuse marked x and the height marked 15000 feet. Select one: a. 10,035 feet b. 16,648 feet c. 20,188 feet d. 22,417 feet

Answer:

D. 22,417 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Fine the diagram in the attachment for proper elucidation. Using the SOH, CAH, TOA trigonometry identity to solve for the distance (x) from the plane (P) to the observer (O), the longest side x is the hypotenuse and the side facing the angle of elevation is the opposite.

Hypotenuse = x and Opposite = 15,000feet

According to SOH;

sin 42^0 = \frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse} \\\\Sin42^0 = \frac{15000}{x}\\ \\x = \frac{15000}{sin42^0}\\\\ \\

x = \frac{15000}{ 0.6691} \\\\x = 22,417 feet

Hence the distance (x) from the plane P to the observer O is approximately 22,417 feet

3. Raphael bought 14 pounds of meat to make hamburgers at the Fourth of
Svetradugi [14.3K]
Raphael needs 9 packages of buns
first you need to multiply 14 by 5 to get 70 which is how many hamburgers will be made. then divide 70 by 8 to see how many packages will be needed. you get 8.75 by doing this so you have to round up to 9 to have enough.
