Answer:

D. The plane needs to be about 27 meters higher to clear the tower.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this scenario a triangle is being formed. The base the plane's takeoff point to the tower base which is 42 meters (x).

The hypothenus is the distance travelled by the plane which is 83 meters (h)

The height of the tower is 98 Meters

We want to calculate the height of our triangle (y) so we can guage if the plane scaled the tower.

According to Pythagorean theorem

(x^2) + (y^2) = h^2

y = √ (h^2) - (x^2)

y = √ (83^2) - (42^2)

y= √(6889 - 1764)

y= 71.59 Meters

The height from the plane's position to the top of the tower will be

Height difference = 98 - 71.59 = 26.41 Meters

So the plane should go about 27 Meters higher to clear the tower

PLEASE HELP ALMOST FINISHING ALBERA 1 PUT I NEED YOUR HELP PLEASE I BEG YOU BRAINLEST ANSWER!!!
tester [92]
59  is D 
because  with the point (-3,7) you substitute it into the equation, making it: 7=4x+b.  solve for b.  then you have y=4x+19.     work out the algebra in the possible choices and whatever equals y=4x+19 will be the answer. in this case, its D.


60 is C
same as above, you do the algebra of the equation. bring the one over after doing distribution with the 4 and voila!


61 is A
a relatively easy one, all you do is the the slope -4 where m goes, and 3 where b goes. y= -4x+3


62 is C.
this one requires more work.
chose one of the points, in this case (2,7) and put them into the equation. 
but wait, you need a slope! 
you get that use the formula (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) which will be
(7-5)/(2-3) which will be
-2.
now you have y-7= -2(x-2)
voila!



63 is  C.   y= 1/2x+3

64 is B. (3, -5)

66 is B. negative. the line  goes \ ( not / which is positive)

67 would be A. because it is positive and the I and the E are in the right places.


70 is C.  2/3.   as before, remember we can but the points into this equation and have (6-4)/(3-0) which = 2/3


71  is D.  y= 3x+10

72 is C. a third degree monomial

Tell whether x and y show direct variation. Explain your reasoning. x=y+2
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

It does not show variation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x = y + 2

Required

Determine if there's direct variation between x and y

The general form of direct variation is:

y = kx

Make y the subject of formula in the given parameters;

x = y + 2

y = x - 2

Compare y = x - 2 to y = kx

<em>Since they are not of the same form, then the given equation do not show direct variation</em>
