A meteorologist sends a signal from a radar station that stands 45 feet off the ground. The signal measures the distance to be 1

400 yards at an angle of 55°. Determine the height of the clouds

Answer:

  3485 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The height above the radar station is found using ...

  height = distance × sin(angle)

  height = (4200 ft) × sin(55°) ≈ 3440 ft

Since the radar station is 45 ft above the ground, the height of the clouds will be an additional 45 ft:

  3440 ft + 45 ft = 3485 ft . . . . height of clouds

_____

<em>Comment on units</em>

You need to be a bit careful here because one dimension is given in feet and another in yards. You need to use 1 yard = 3 feet to figure that 1400 yards = 4200 feet. You could convert 45 ft to 15 yards and report the cloud height in yards. That would not be wrong, but it would be unusual.

Convert 674 cm into m
Lyrx [107]

Answer is below. Look at my explanation to understand my answer.

To convert centimetres into meters, you'll divide how many centimetres by 100.

With that being said...

674 ÷ 100 = 6.74

Hence, 6.74 is your answer.

Let me know of any questions or concerns.

What would be the equation for #23???
Rufina [12.5K]
Hi there!

Let r be the number of matches that Rebecca's team won.

We know that Katheryn's team won 9 more matches than Rebecca's team, and we know that Katheryn's team won 52 matches.

Using this given information, we can create the following equation.

r+9=52

If you wish to solve this, we can subtract both sides by 9 to get the following value for r.

r=43

Have an awesome day! :)

Identify the diameter of the circular base created by folding the figure into a right cone. HELP ASAP PLEASE!!
Akimi4 [234]

let's notice something, we have a circle with a radius of 12 and one 90° sector is cut off, so only three 90° sectors of the circle are left shaded, so namely the cone will be using 3/4 of that circle.

think of it as, this shaded area is some piece of paper, and you need to pull it upwards and have the cutoff edges meet, and when that happens, you'll end up with a cone-shaped paper cup, and pour in some punch.

now, once we have pulled up the center of the circle to make our paper cup, there will be a circular base, its diameter not going to be 24, it'll be less, but whatever that base is, we know that is going to have the same circumference as those in the shaded area.  Well, what is the circumference of that shaded area?

\bf \textit{circumference of a circle}\\\\ C=2\pi r~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ r=12 \end{cases}\implies C=2\pi 12\implies C=24\pi \implies \stackrel{\textit{three quarters of it}}{24\pi \cdot \cfrac{3}{4}} \\\\\\ 6\pi \cdot 3\implies 18\pi

well then, the circumference of that circle at the bottom will be 18π, so, what is the diameter of a circle with a circumferenc of 18π?

\bf \textit{circumference of a circle}\\\\ C=2\pi r~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ C=18\pi \end{cases}\implies 18\pi =2\pi r\implies \cfrac{18\pi }{2\pi }=r\implies 9=r \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{diameter is twice the radius}}{d=18}~\hfill
