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

The value of the fraction 3c+2/4 one less than the value of the fraction 5c-1/3.
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

7/8 > 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

A) 7/8

We can compare this as follows.

Lets say both are equal.

Cross multiplying these we get 40=42

We get 40<42. In fraction we get

In case if you want to convert this to decimal, we get;

5/6 = 0.833 and 7/8 = 0.875

We get 5/6<7/8

B) 4/5

Similarly we get 4/5 = 0.8 and 5/6 = 0.833

Here 4/5<5/6

C) 3/4

we get 3/4 = 0.75 and 5/6 = 0.833

3/4<5/6

D) 2/3

we get 2/3 = 0.66 and 5/6 = 0.833

2/3<5/6

Let u= &lt;4,3&gt;. Find the unit vector in the direction of u, and write your answer in component form.
aksik [14]
Take the vector u = <ux, uy> = <4, 3>.

Find the magnitude of u:

||u|| = sqrt[ (ux)^2 + (uy)^2]

||u|| = sqrt[ 4^2 + 3^2 ]

||u|| = sqrt[ 16 + 9 ]

||u|| = sqrt[ 25 ]

||u|| = 5

To find the unit vector in the direction of u, and also with the same sign, just divide each coordinate of u by ||u||. So the vector you are looking for is

u/||u||

u * (1/||u||)

= <4, 3> * (1/5)

= <4/5, 3/5>

and there it is.

Writing it in component form:

= (4/5) * i + (3/5) * j

I hope this helps. =)
