An observer (O) spots a plane (P) taking off from a local airport and flying at a 33° angle horizontal to her line of sight and

located directly above a tower (T). The observer also notices a bird (B) circling directly above her. If the distance from the plane(P) to the tower (T) is 7,000 feet, how far is the bird (B) from the plane (P)? Round to the nearest whole number.

Answer:

the distance of the Bird (B) from the plane (P)  is = 10779  ft

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

a diagrammatic representation is attached below for better understanding and solution to the question.

From the diagram;

Let the Bird (B) be represent as A

The plane (P) be represented by B

The observer be represented by O

and the tower T be represented by C

we will see that:

\overline {AB}  \ \| \ \overline {OC}

Also;

\angle ABO = \angle BOC = 33^0

AO = BC = 7000

Let consider the trigonometry of  triangle BAO

tan θ = opposite/adjacent

tan 33° = 7000/x

0.6494 = 7000/x

x = 7000/0.6494

x = 10779.18

x = 10779  ft    ( to the nearest whole number)

Thus; the distance of the Bird (B) from the plane (P)  is = 10779  ft

Which statements are true?
djyliett [7]

Answer:

All Triangles are closed figure polygons that have three straight sides

Step-by-step explanation:

All 2D shapes are plane figures so this one is false. Three right angles are greater than 180 so this is fake. Polygon and closed figures are shapes with three or more closed sides. And triangles have straight sides.

Using the converse of Pythagorean Theorem and the law of sines and cosines solve the word problem.
Helga [31]

Answer:

It's the law of cosines

Step-by-step explanation:

law of cosines states that c^{2} =a^{2} +b^{2} -2ab (cos(\alpha ))

so we know that a = 7, b = 4, and alpha would be 135 degrees, so just plugging it in gets us 49+16-2*7*4*(-0.707) = 65 + 39.59 = 104.59

What is the value of x in the figure shown below?
satela [25.4K]

50?

I'm assuming 50 because the angles to a triangle always adds up to 180 and this one has 130 and 130+50=180

No, John is incorrect.

<h3>Correct work shown:</h3>

\sf x^2 - 6x - 7 = 0

\sf x^2 - 6x = 7

\sf x^2 - 6x  + 9= 7 + 9

\sf (x-3)^2= 16

\sf x-3=\pm \sqrt{16}

\sf x-3= \pm 4

\sf x= + 4 + 3 \quad or \quad x = -4 + 3

\sf x= 7 \quad or \quad x = -1

The correct answer should be x = 7 or x = -1
