Answer:

Option A. 37106 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: An 757 passenger jet at the height of 3900 feet from the ground means vertical height = 3900 feet.

Angle of descent to the airport in Washington,D.C. is 6 degrees.

To find: Horizontal distance the plane will cover to reach the run way.

Solution: As we know tan ∅  = \frac{Height}{Base}

Then tan 6° = \frac{3900}{x}

0.105 = \frac{3900}{x}

x = \frac{3900}{.105}

x = 37106 ft

The length of a rectangle is one more that three times its width. If the perimeter is 42 inches, find the dimensions of the rect
Liono4ka [1.6K]
Let w=width
L= length
3w+1=l
Perimeter -2(l+w)
2(W+3w+1)=42
Divide both sides by 2
W+3w+1=21
Subtract 1
W+3w=20
Add like terms
4w=20
Divide both sides by 4
W=5
The width is 5 inches

3w+1=l
Input the width into the equation
3(5)+1=l
15+1=l
16=l
The length of the rectangle is 16 inches

The rectangle is 5 x 16 inches
