Answer:
13
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n represent that number.
(2 +n)/(5 +n) = 5/6 . . . . . . . . n is added to numerator and denominator
6(2 +n) = 5(5 +n) . . . . . . . . . multiply by 5(5+n)
12 +6n = 25 +5n . . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
n = 13 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 5n+12
Adding 13 to each term will give 5/6.

<em>Check</em>
(2 +13)/(5 +13) = 15/18 = (3·5)/(3·6) = 5/6

<em>Alternate solution</em>
The difference of denominator and numerator in 2/5 is 5-2 = 3. The difference of denominator and numerator in 5/6 is 6-5 = 1. In order to make the latter difference 3, we must have (3/3)(5/6) = 15/18. We can get 15/18 from 2/5 by adding 13 to numerator and denominator.
The angle of depression is 29.0521°. So it is a safe landing.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
The plane is flying at a height of 25,000 feet and 45,000 feet away from the landing strip. Assume it lands with an angle of depression of x°.
So a right-angled triangle can be formed using these measurements. The triangle's opposite side measures 25,000 feet while the adjacent side measures 45,000 feet. The angle of the triangle is x°.
To determine the value of x, we calculate the tan of the given triangle.

Step 2:
The length of the opposite side = 25,000 feet.
The length of the adjacent side = 45,000 feet.

So x = 29.0521°. Since x < 30°, it is a safe landing.
They are similar in basically everything because they're inverse operations.
Inverse operations are operations that do the smae thing, but the opposite way. If one multiplies, the other one divides. If one sums the other one subratcts.
→ Exponents multiply the same number by itself a given amount of times to obtain the answer.
→ Roots get a number and look for another one that multiplied by itself a given amount of times reult in the initial number.
