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

Brownies are now on sale. Each brownie costs $0.20 less than the original price. Right now, if you buy 8 of them it will cost $1
Airida [17]

Answer: The original price of brownie was $2.1 each.

Step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

Let the original price will be x

Number of brownie purchased = 8

According to question , each brownie costs $0.20 less than the original price.

So, it becomes

8\times (x-0.20)=\$15.20\\\\8x-1.6=15.20\\\\8x=15.20+1.60\\\\8x=16.8\\\\x=\frac{16.8}{8}\\\\x=\$2.1

Hence, the original price of brownie was $2.1 each.

The slope for 5 and 2
Yuri [45]

\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}♨

As we know, slope (m) is equal to tan θ for a straight line :

\qquad \tt\dashrightarrow \: m = \tan( \theta)

\qquad \tt\dashrightarrow \: m =  \dfrac{5}{2}

So, we can say that it's a positive constant slope

Plz help me :((((((​
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

a and d = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

since ABC and DEF are similar m<A = m<D so you have the equation

5x + 12 = 8x

subtract 8x from both sides

5x + 12 -8x = 0

subtract 12 from both sides

5x -8x = -12

combine like terms

-3x = -12

devide by -3

x = 4

plug 4 into equation

5(4) + 12 = 8*4

20 + 12 = 32

32 = 32
