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

What percent of 82 is 9.75. Round your answer to the nearest tenth
AysviL [449]

Hi there!

8 would be the nearest ten of 7.995..

<em><u>1.Multiply 82 with 0.01:</u></em>

<em><u /></em>82<em><u>·</u></em>0.01=0.82<em><u /></em>

<em><u>2.Multiply the terms:</u></em>

<em><u /></em>0.82<em><u>·</u></em>9.75=7.995<em><u /></em>

<em><u>3.Round the term:</u></em>

<em><u /></em>7.995=8<em><u /></em>

Therefore, 82% of 9.75 in nearest tenth is 8.
