A plane is flying within sight of the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri, at an elevation of 30,000 ft. The pilot would like to

estimate her distance from the Gateway Arch. She finds that the angle of depression to a point on the ground below the arch is 27°. (Round your answers to the nearest foot.)
(a) What is the distance between the plane and the arch?
(b) What is the distance between a point on the ground directly below the plane and the arch?

Answer:

X = 33,669.78 ft

Y = 15285.76 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

let x be the distance btwn arch and plane

and y be the distance btwn  ground point  and arch y

we know that

cos\theta =  \frac{adjacent}{hypotaneous}

cos(27) = \frac{30,000}{x}

xcos27 = 30000

x = \frac{30000}{cos 27}

x = 33,669.78 ft

b) we knwo that

tan \theta  = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

tan 27 = \frac{y}{30000}

y = tan(27) (30000)

y = 15285.76 ft

One large bubble separates into four small bubbles so that the total area of the small bubbles is equal to the area of the large
sergey [27]

Answer:

R = 10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a spherical shape is given by :

A=4\pi r^2

Where

r is the radius of the sphere

ATQ,

One large bubble separates into four small bubbles so that the total area of the small bubbles is equal to the area of the large bubble.

The radius of each small bubble is 5 cm

Using the given condition,

4\pi R^2=4\times (4\pi r^2)\\\\R^2=4r^2\\\\R=\sqrt{4r^2} \\\\R=2r\\\\R=2\times 5\\\\R=10\ cm

So, the radius of the large bubble is equal to 10 cm.
