The altitude of the plane is 8 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
we know that
In the right triangle ABC
tan(72°)=h/x
h=xtan(72°) -----> equation A
In the right triangle ABD
tan(55°)=h/(x+3)
h=(x+3)tan(55°) -----> equation B
equate equation A and equation B and solve for x
xtan(72°)=(x+3)tan(55°)
xtan(72°)-xtan(55°)=3tan(55°)
x[tan(72°)-tan(55°)]=3tan(55°)
x=3tan(55°)/[tan(72°)-tan(55°)]
Find the value of h
h=xtan(72°)
h=[3tan(55°)*tan(72°)]/[tan(72°)-tan(55°)]
h=8 miles

Ty received test grades of 82%, 74%, 76%, 76%, and 74%.
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

a) To earn C he needs at least 68 and less than 98

b) No, he couldn't make it.

Step-by-step explanation:

I. His avg value is (382 + x)/6

 I pick a random number and that gave

 (68 => to reach 75) and (98 => to reach 80)  

So that makes he needs at least 68 and less than 98

II. The reason why he cannot make it is

 if 100 is 100%

      =   (100 + 382)/6

      = 80.33 That's impossible to reach 90

Hope that help :)

Please help I don’t understand
marta [7]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2 strokes through XM and MY indicate the segments are congruent, so

YM = MX , that is

8x - 24 = 3x + 1 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

5x - 24 = 1 ( add 24 to both sides )

5x = 25 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 5

Find the invers of the relation<br><br> (0, 1), (1,-2), (2, 4), (3, -1), (4, 0)
Zinaida [17]
You swap x and y. for example, the first set is (0,1) so the inverse would be (1,0)
