Answer:

Option C is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A plane is descending onto the runway with an angle of depression of 55°. Also, it has 2.8 miles to go before landing.

To find: current altitude of the plane

Solution:

Consider the attached image.

In ΔABC,

\angle ACB=55^{\circ} (Alternate interior angles)

For any angle \theta,

tan \theta = side opposite to angle/side adjacent to angle

\tan C=\frac{AB}{BC}

Put \angle C=55^{\circ}\,,\,BC=2.8\,\,miles

AB=2.8\,\tan 55^{\circ}=3.999\approx 4\,\,miles

So, the current altitude of the plane is 4 miles.

Helping others makes a person good ​

Answer:

9 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the pyramid be h cm, then the height of the cuboid is (15 - h) cm.

Volume of the pyramid:

= 1/3 * h * s^2      where s is the length of a side of the square base.

= hs^2/3 cm^3

Volume of the cuboid:

= s^2(15 - h).

So we have:

hs^2/ 3 = 300.......................(1)

s^2(15 - h) = 600..................(2)

From  equation (1) :

h s^2 = 900

s^2 = 900/h

Now substitute for s^2 in  equation (2) :

(900/h)(15 - h) = 600

Multiply through by h:

900(15 - h) = 600h

13500 - 900h = 600h

1500h = 13500

h = 9 cm (answer).                  brainliest?

Please show your work and explain it.
Maru [420]

Answer:

f(x)=\dfrac{x+2}{2(x-2)}

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember when you divide fractions, you need to get the reciprocal of the divisor and multiply. So your first simplification would be:

\dfrac{x^2+4x+4}{x^2-6x+8}\div\dfrac{6x+12}{3x-12}\\\\=\dfrac{x^2+4x+4}{x^2-6x+8}\times\dfrac{3x-12}{6x+12}\\\\=\dfrac{(x^2+4x+4)(3x-12)}{(x^2-6x+8)(6x+12)}

Next we factor what we can so we can further simplify the rest of the equation:

=\dfrac{(x^2+4x+4)(3x-12)}{(x^2-6x+8)(6x+12)}\\\\=\dfrac{(x+2)(x+2)(3x-12)}{(x^2-6x+8)(6(x+2))}\\\\

We can now cancel out (x+2)

=\dfrac{(x+2)(3x-12)}{(x^2-6x+8)(6)}

Next we factor out even more:

=\dfrac{(x+2)(3)(x-4)}{(x-2)(x-4)(6)}

We cancel out x-4 and reduce the 3 and 6 into simpler terms:

=\dfrac{(x+2)(1)}{(x-2)(2)}

And we can now simplify it to:

=\dfrac{x+2}{2(x-2)}

Solve the system by substitution
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

(-5, -30)

Step-by-step explanation:

We start with the equation:

y = 6x

y = -4x - 50

Since both of them are equal to y, we can substitute the 6x into y. So:

6x = -4x - 50

Now we can solve for x. Add 4x to both sides...

6x = -4x - 50

+4x   +4x

10x = -50

Now, divide both sides by 10.

<u>10x</u> = <u>-50</u>

10      10

x = -5

So, we now know that x is -5. Now we know this, we can substitute -5 where we see x. It works in both equations, so I will do both.

y = 6(-5)

y = -30

And...

y = -4(-5) - 50

y = 20 - 50

y = -30

As you can see, both equations show that y = -30. To check our work, let's plug in the values.

-30 = 6(-5)

-30 = -30

Also:

-30 = -4(-5) - 50

-30 = -20 - 50

-30 = -30

So, we can see that both of the equations gave us the same answer. So, our answer is x = -5 and y = -30, so the ordered pair is: (-5, -30). Hope this helps you!
