A blimp is 1500 meters high in the air and measures the angles of depression to two stadiums to the west of the blimp. If those

measurements are 72.9 degrees and 34.1 degrees how far are the two stadiums to the nearest meter?

Let stadium 1 be the one on the left and stadium 2 the one on the right.

Angle above stadium 1 is 72.9° and the angle above stadium 2 is 34.1° using the angle property of alternate angles(because both the ground and the dotted line are parallel).

For the next part we need to use the trigonometric function of tangent.

As tan x = opposite / adjacent,
Tan 72.9°=1500/ adjacent ( the ground from O to stadium 1)

Therefore the adjacent is 1500/tan 72.9°= 461.46 m( to 5 s.f.)

Same for the next angle,
Tan 34.1°=1500/ adjacent ( the ground from O to stadium 2)

Therefore, the adjacent is 1500/tan 34.1° = 2215.49 m (to 5 s.f.)

Thus, the distance between both stadiums is 2215.49-461.46= 1754.03 m

Correcting the answer to whole number gives you 1754 m which is the option C.

Answer: For the first part, her total savings would be $88, and for the second part, (let's pretend s = the total savings) the equation would be s = 40 + w x 6.

Step-by-step explanation: As for the first part, we would need to multiply her money per week times the amount of weeks she works. We can do this by simply multiplying the amount she makes (6) by the amount of weeks she works (8), resulting in 48, but we still have to add that number to the amount she already has, or 40, making $88 in total, as for the second part, this does a great job of explaining the reasoning behind that as well. Hope this answered your question!

Re-write the quadratic function below in Standard Form<br> y = -(x – 3)2 +8
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

y = -x² + 6x - 1

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Standard Form: ax² + bx + c = 0
  • Expanding by FOIL (First Inside Outside Last)
  • Combining like terms

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>

y = -(x - 3)² + 8

<u>Step 2: Rewrite</u>

  1. Expand [FOIL]:                    y = -(x² - 6x + 9) + 8
  2. Distribute -1:                        y = -x² + 6x - 9 + 8
  3. Combine like terms:           y = -x² + 6x - 1

Classify the triangle by side length and angle measure
grin007 [14]

Answer:

Isoceles Obtuse

Step-by-step explanation:

This triangle has 2 sides with the same side lengths and 2 of the same angles, so it is an isoceles triangle. Is it obtuse or actue? Well, we can see that there is an angle greater than 90 degrees, so this is an obtuse isoceles triangle.
