Answer:

40 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this by drawing a triangle if one plane is east of the tower and the other north east. We assume that the tower is the other point of the triangle. We have an angle of 15 degrees connecting tower to plan B. We can sine rule to solve this problem.

The sine rule is:

sinA/a=sinB/b=sinC/c

As we know one angle and two sides we can solve for the one side and two angles as we have 3 unknowns and 3 known values:

Let plane A have angle A and side a, plane B have angle B and side b:

sinA/a=sinB/b

sinA/20=sin15/22

sinA =(0.259/22)\cdot{20}=0.235

A = sin^-1 (0.235)=13.6 degrees

Therefore angle C is:

180-13.6-15=151.4

We can solve for c:

sinB/b=sinC/c

0.259/22=0.479/c

c=40.6

The planes are 40.6 miles apart

Answer:

  72°

Step-by-step explanation:

You correctly found x, but the measure of the angle is ...

  4x-22 = 4·23.5-22 = 72°

___

or (6x-69)° = (141-69)° = 72°

What is the surface area of this right rectangular prism?
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

A≈32\frac{3}{10}ft²

--

To find the surface area of a right rectangular prism you must use this formula A=2(wl+hl+hw)

Then plug in your variebles

A=2( 1.33*1.5+5+1.5+5+1.33)

This comes out to be A≈32 \frac{3}{10}
