Answer:
d = 40.44
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
25.14 = d + (-15.3)
25.14 = d + -15.3
Reorder the terms:
25.14 = -15.3 + d
Solving
25.14 = -15.3 + d
Solving for variable 'd'.
Move all terms containing d to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-1d' to each side of the equation.
25.14 + -1d = -15.3 + d + -1d
Combine like terms: d + -1d = 0
25.14 + -1d = -15.3 + 0
25.14 + -1d = -15.3
Add '-25.14' to each side of the equation.
25.14 + -25.14 + -1d = -15.3 + -25.14
Combine like terms: 25.14 + -25.14 = 0.00
0.00 + -1d = -15.3 + -25.14
-1d = -15.3 + -25.14
Combine like terms: -15.3 + -25.14 = -40.44
-1d = -40.44
Divide each side by '-1'.
d = 40.44
Simplifying
d = 40.44
3x-8 = 8x-33
3x-8x = -33+8
-5x = -25
x = -25/-5
x = 5
This forms a right angled triangle and Ralph flies down the hypotenuse x,
so using trigonometry:-
sin 59 = 12.4 / x
x = 12.4 / sin 59
= 14.47 feet to nearest hundredth.
