Sketch the situation if necessary and use related rates to solve. Two airplanes are flying in the air at the same height. Airpla

ne A is flying east at 250 mph and airplane B is flying north at 300 mph. If they are both heading to the same airport, located 30 miles east of airplane A and 40 miles north of airplane B, at what rate (in mph) is the distance between the airplanes changing?

Answer:

  -390 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a and b represent, respectively, the distances of A and B from the airport. The distance d between the planes is then given by the Pythagorean theorem as ...

  d² = a² + b²

Differentiating with respect to time, we have ...

  2d·d' = 2a·a' +2b·b'

Solving for d', we get ...

  d' = (a/d)a' +(b/d)b'

The value of d at the time of interest is ...

  d = √(a² +b²) = √(30² +40²) = √2500 = 50

Then the rate of change of separation is ...

  d' = (30/50)(-250 mph) +(40/50)(-300 mph) = (-150 -240) mph

  d' = -390 mph

The distance between planes is decreasing at 390 miles per hour.

The sales tax rate is 8.25%. Estimate the sales tax<br> on a book that costs $18.50.
eimsori [14]

Answer:

$1.53

Step-by-step explanation:

Sales Tax Rate = 8.25%

Book Sales Cost = $18.50

Book Sales Tax = 8.25% x $18.50

= 8.25/100 x $18.50

= 0.0825 x $18.50

Book Sales Tax = $1.53

Pi/6 is the reference angle for:<br><br> 3pi/6<br><br> 5pi/6<br><br> 13pi/6<br><br> 8pi/6
Elanso [62]

Answer:

\frac{5\pi}{6}, \frac{13\pi}{6}

Step by step

Remember, a reference angle is a positive acute angle that represents an angle θ of any measurement.

a)

\frac{3\pi}{6}=90^\circ, then its reference angle is \frac{\pi}{2}

b)

\frac{5\pi}{6}=150^ \circ is in the second cuadrant, then its reference angle is 180^ \circ -150^{\circ}=30^{\circ}=\frac{\pi}{6}

c)

\frac{13\pi}{6}=390^\circ=360^\circ+30^\circ, then it is in the first cuadrant and the reference angle is 30^\circ =\frac{\pi}{6}.

d)

\frac{8\pi}{6}=240^\circ and it is in the third cuadrant, then its reference angle is 240^\circ -180^\circ=60^\circ=\frac{\pi}{3}

URGENT!! LAW OF SINES WORK
Lynna [10]

Answer:

  1.  7.1 cm

  2.  10.9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You know the legs of a right triangle must be shorter than the hypotenuse. The only answer choice shorter than 8 cm is 7.1 cm.

__

2. By the Law of Sines, ...

  AB/AC = sin(ACB)/sin(B)

  AB = AC·sin(72°)/sin(38°) = 1.545·AC

The approximate value of AC from problem 1 is sufficient to get you close to the answer.

  AB ≈ 7.1×1.545 ≈ 10.9 . . . cm
