<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

Determine the slope of the line that passes through the points:
miskamm [114]

Answer:

The slope of the line is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that slope = rise over run:  rise / run.

From the table we see that if x changes from 0 to 4, a run of 4, y changes from -1 to 15, a rise of 16, the slope of this line must be

m = rise / run = 16/4 = 4

The slope of the line is 4.

Two window washers start at the heights shown. One is rising, the other is descending. How long does it take for the two window
kvasek [131]

Answer:

After 18.32 seconds washer men will be at the same height.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given question is incomplete; here is the complete question.

Two window washers start at the heights shown. (A: 21 ft high rising 8 in per second. The other is 50 feet high descending 11 inches per second) one is rising one is descending. How long does it take for the two window washers to reach the same height? Explain

Two window washers are moving in opposite directions.

First window washer is at 21 ft and rising with the speed of 8 inches per second.

Second window washer is at 50 feet and descending with the speed of 11 inches per second.

Since 1 feet = 12 inches

Therefore, 21 feet = 21×12 = 252 inches

Similarly, 50 feet = 50 × 12 = 600 inches

Let both the window washer takes 't' time to be at the same height.

Height of the first window washer after t seconds = (252 + 8t) feet

Height of the second window washer after t seconds = (600 - 11t) feet

Since both are at the same height after time 't',

(252 + 8t) = (600 - 11t)

8t + 11t = 600 - 252

19t = 348

t = 18.32 seconds

Therefore, after 18.32 seconds washer men will be at the same height.

7. Find the distance between the points (13, 8) and (-12, 6)
Alik [6]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  √629 ≈ 25.08

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula is useful for this.

  d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²)

  d = √((-12 -13)² +(6 -8)²) = √(625 +4) = √629 ≈ 25.08

The distance between the points is about 25.08 units.
