Answer: 42.21 km

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this using trigonometry, since we have the following data:

\theta=32.5\° is the the angle of elevation

d=35.6 km is the horizontal distance between the plane and the radar station

x is the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed between the radar station and the airplane

Now, the trigonometric function that will be used is <u>cosine</u>:

cos\theta=\frac{d}{x} because d is the adjacent side of the right triangle

cos(32.5\°)=\frac{35.6 km}{x}

Finding x:

x=\frac{35.6 km}{cos(32.5\°)}

x=42.21 km

Use the sine law: sinB/b = sinA/a

SinB = b*sinA/a

sinB = 3*sin120° /8

∠ B = 18.94° ≈ 19°

Consider the following proposed proof by contradiction that for all positive integers n, 3n &gt; 2.
laila [671]

Answer:

The proof contains a simple direct proof, wrapped inside the unnecessary logical packaging of a proof by contradiction framework.

Step-by-step explanation:

The proof is rigourous and well written, so we discard the second answer.

This is not a fake proof by contradiction: it does not have any logical fallacies (circular arguments) or additional assumptions, like, for example, the "proof" of "All the horses are the same color". It is factually correct, but it can be rewritten as a direct proof.

A meaningful proof by contradiction depends strongly on the assumption that the statement to prove is false. In this argument, we only this assumption once, thus it is innecessary. Other proofs by contradiction, like the proof of "The square root of 2 is irrational" or Euclid's proof of the infinitude of primes, develop a longer argument based on the new assumption, but this proof doesn't.

To rewrite this without the superfluous framework, erase the parts "Suppose that the statement is false" and "The fact that the statement is true contradicts the assumption that the statement is false. Thus, the assumption that the statement was false must have been false. Thus, the statement is true."

While drying, apple loses 14% of its weight. How many pounds of fresh apple is needed to get 10 8/25 lbs of dried apple?
aksik [14]

Answer:

12lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the amount of apples you need, then:

x-0.14x= 10 8/25

0.86x = 10 8/25

(10 8/25) : 86 * 100 = x

x=12

The average athlete is able to begin activity 90 days after having a knee operation. The standard deviation is 20 days. Sixty-ei
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

99

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean = 90 days

standard deviation = 20 days

P(Z < z) = 68 %

getting the value of z-score from the standard normal table of 0.68

z = 0.47

P(Z < 0.47) = 0.47 * 20 + 90 = 99
