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

I need help with Question 14 . I need to submit it by monday...<br> Pls help
GaryK [48]

Answer:

Distance between A and B is 5400 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider "D" the letter to identify distance between A and B

Let's use "t" to identify the time of the first encounter (Devi and Kumar), and create an equation that states that the distance covered by Devi (at 100 m/min) in time "t", is equal to the total distance D minus what Kumar has covered at his speed (80 m/min) in that same time:

Recall that distance equals the speed  times the time:

distance= speed * time

First encounter:

100 * t = D - 80 * t

180 * t = D    Equation (1)

Not, 6 minutes later (at time t+6) , Devi and Li Ting meet .

Then for this encounter the distance covered by Devi equals total distance d minus the distance covered by Li Ting:

100 *(t+6) = D - 75 * (t+6)

100 t + 600 = D - 75 t - 450

175 T + 150 = D    Equation (2)

Now, let's equal equation (1) to equation (2), since D should be the same:

180 t = 175 t + 150

5 t = 150

t = 30

Then the time t (first encounter) is 30 minutes. Knowing this, we can use either equation to find D:

From Equation (1) for example: D = 180 * t = 180 * 30 = 5400 meters

John works as a tutor for an hour and as a waiter for an hour. This month, he worked a combined total of hours at his two jobs.
liberstina [14]

Correct Question:

John works as a tutor for $12 an hour and as a waiter for $8 an hour. This month, he worked a combined total of 86 hours at his two jobs.

Let be the number of hours John worked as a tutor this month. Write an expression for the combined total dollar amount he earned this month.

Answer:

Total hours = 86

Let t is the hours he spent on tutoring

then (86-t) is hours spent on waiting

Let Y is the total amount in dollars which is required .

Now;

y = (tutoring hours x 12$) + (waiting hours x 8$)

Y = 12t + 8(86-t)

A parachutist descends 44 feet in 4 seconds. Express the rate of the parachutist's change in height as a unit rate.
Montano1993 [528]

The unit rate of the parachutist change in height is 11 feet per second.

   • In Mathematics, Unitary method is a technique for solving a question by first finding the value of a single unit and then finding the required value by multiplying the number by value of single unit .

   • We use unitary method to find the ratio of one thing with respect to other thing.

   • There are two types of unitary method one is Direct Variation and the other is Inverse variation.

We have the rate of descend as 44 feet in 4 sec.

So, in 1 second it will be = 44 / 4 = 11 feet.

Which is the unit rate.

Therefore, the unit rate of descend for the parachutist is 11 feet per second.
