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

Factor –7x3 21x2 3x – 9 by grouping. what is the resulting expression?
MakcuM [25]

The resulting expression on factorization by grouping method is (3-7x²)(x-3).

<h3>What is Factorization?</h3>

Factorization is a method in which an Integer or an expression is written in terms of product of its fractions.

The expression given in the question is

–7x³ + 21x² + 3x – 9

This equation has to be factorized using grouping method.

group of two or more is formed and common term is taken out.

-7x² (x -3) +3(x-3)

( -7x²+3) (x-3)

(3-7x²)(x-3)

The resulting expression on factorization by grouping method is

(3-7x²)(x-3).
