From SOH CAH TOA, you know that
.. Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse
.. sin(π/3) = (5 miles)/Hypotenuse
.. Hypotenuse = (5 miles)/sin(π/3) = 5/(√3/2) miles ≈ 5.774 miles

The straight-line distance from Katie to the helicopter is about 5.77 miles.

Answer:

  (c)  x = 2 and x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

The rules of logarithms let you rewrite this as a quadratic equation. That equation will have two (2) potential solutions. We know from the domain of the log function that any negative value of x will be an extraneous solution.

__

The rules of logarithms that apply are ...

  \log(a)+\log(b)=\log(ab)\qquad\text{all logarithms to the same base}\\\\\log_b(a)=c\ \Longleftrightarrow\ b^c=a\\\\

__

<h3>take antilogs</h3>

We can rewrite the equation so that only one logarithm is involved. Then we can take antilogs.

  \log_4(x)+\log_4(x+6)=2\\\\\log_4(x(x+6))=2\qquad\text{using the first rule}\\\\4^2=x(x+6)\qquad\text{using the second rule}

__

<h3>solve the quadratic</h3>

Adding (6/2)² = 9 to both sides will "complete the square."

  16 +9 = x² +6x +9 . . . . . . . add 9

  25 = (x +3)²

  ±√25 = x +3 = ±5 . . . . . take the square root(s)

  x = -3 ±5 = {-8, +2}

The two potential solutions are x = 2 and x = -8.

NEED HELP WITH 13 a-b!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

a - 6%

b - $7.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer for a

the only items that had sales tax were $3.00 and $0.50. The total tax for the both was $0.21 so you can find what percent 0.21 is of 3.00 + 0.50 o 3.50. Do this by dividing the percent you are looking for, 0.21, by what it is the percent of 3.50. 0.21 / 3.50 = 0.06. then you multiply the number you got, in this case 0.06 by 100 to find the percentage so it is 6%

The answer for b

Here you can just take the subtotal, $13.00, and subtract all the other prices and you will be left with the price of the top. 13.00 - 3.00 - 2.00 - 0.50 = 7.50. So the answer is $7.50

What fraction makes the equation true?<br> Enter the answer in the boxes.<br><br> 5/6x =20/24
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of x, we have to move all the real numbers to the other side.

5/6x = 20/24

We have divide each side by 5/6. Once we do that, we get—

x = 4/4

x = 1

1 in 12 chance of landing on 4

1 in 6 chance of landing on either 3 or 4

Step-by-step explanation:

12 equal sections means probability is 1 in 12 of landing on any one numbered section.

2 in 12 or 1 in 6 chance of landing on either of two numbered sections in one attempt.

In triangle FGH, angle G is 30 degrees and angle H is 100 degrees. What is the measure of angle F? * 1 point 50 degrees 70 degre
serg [7]
Mark brainlist please!

Answer is 50 degrees

Since,

measure of angle F + measure of angle G + measure of angle H = 180

30 + 100 + measure of angle F = 180

Measure of angle F = 180 - 130

Measure of angle F = 50 degrees
