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

Answer:

(x) = 1/2x-3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The inverse is the opposite of the equation given in this case is 2x+3 and the inverse is when you switch the x and the y and you solve for y.

Again with this please​
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

a) A dozen= 24

3 dozen= 24 x 3

= 72

b) 1 dozen= 12 bananas

A dozen cost= 24

So, 1 banana cost= 24/12

= 2

So, 6 bananas would be 2 x 6 = 12

c) 1 dozen= 12 bananas

A dozen cost= 24

1 banana cost= 24/12

= 2

d) I need to know how many people are there in your class so please mention that first :)
