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

SOMEONE PLEASE JUST ANSWER THIS FOR BRAINLIEST!!!
insens350 [35]

(2y² + 7y + 11) - (8y² - 5y + 7) you can distribute the negative sign to the second expression and then combine the like terms

new expression: (2y² + 7y + 11) (-8y² + 5y - 7)

2y² and -8y² equals -6y²

7y and 5y equals 12y

11 and -7 equals 4

The answer is -6y² + 12y + 4

What is 12.38 expanded in form
Lana71 [14]
12.38 in expanded form is write like:-

10 + 2 + .3 + .08 = 12.38

To write a number in expanded form just means to write the number in a layout and when you add it up it will become the number you needed to write in expanded form. 

So, 12.38 written in expanded form is:- 10 + 2 + .3 + 0.8

Hope i helped

The ages of armadillos are normally distributed, with a mean of 14 years and a standard deviation of 1.2. Approximately what per
vovangra [49]

Answer:

Percentage of armadillos between 13 and 17 years = 79.052%f using Standard Normal Distribution Tables

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know from normal distribution: z(x) = (x - Mu)/SD

where x = targeted value; Mu = Mean of Normal Distribution; SD = Standard Deviation of Normal Distribution

Therefore using given data: Mu = 14, SD = 1.2 we have z(x) by using z(x) = (x - Mu)/SD as under:

Approach 1 using Standard Normal Distribution Table:

z for x=17: z(17) = (17-14)/1.2 gives us z(17) = 2.5

z for x=13: z(13) = (13-14)/1.2 gives us z(13) = -0.83

Afterwards using Normal Distribution Tables we find the probabilities as under:

P(17) using z(17) = 2.5 gives us P(17) = 99.379%

Similarly we have:

P(13) using z(13) = -0.83 gives us P(13) = 20.327%

Finally in order to find out the probability between 17 & 13 years we have:

Percentage of armadillos between 13 and 17 years = P(17) - P(13) = 99.379% - 20.327% = 79.052%

The standard normal distribution table is being attached for yours easiness.

Approach 2 using Excel or Google Sheets:

P(17) = norm.dist(17,14,1.2,1)

P(13) = norm.dist(13,14,1.2,1)

Percentage of armadillos between 13 and 17 years = { P(17) - P(13) } * 100
