<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option: B is the correct answer.

                    B. 36,623 feet

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The angle of elevation is: 55 degree

We model this problem by taking a right angled triangle such that the side opposite to the 55 degree is of length 30000 feet.

Now let us consider x denote the distance of the plane from Francesa.

i.e. x denote the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle.

Hence, in right angled triangle i.e. ΔABC we have:

\sin 55=\dfrac{30000}{x}\\\\i.e.\\\\x=\dfrac{30000}{\sin 55}\\\\i.e.\\\\x=\dfrac{30000}{0.81915}\\\\\\i.e.\\\\\\x=36623.2376\ feet

Round to the nearest feet we get: x=36,623 feet

8 3/8 would be the answer because first off you would have to find the 8th of the 1/2 and 1/4. Then after you get all of them then you would add them together which would be 8 3/8.

A composition of a reflection and a translation is called a __________________
ivolga24 [154]
A reflection is a transformation across a line called the line of reflection, so that the line of reflection is the perpendicular bisector of each segment joining each point and its image. ... A translation is an isometry , so the image of a translated figure is congruent to the preimage.
