Answer:

The expression of h as function of x is   h = \sqrt{(d + 5500) (d - 5500)}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The distance of blimp  (AB) = 5500 feet

The slanted distance to the pagoda (BC) = d feet

The horizontal distance (AC) = h

Let the angle made between slanted distance and horizontal distance be Ф

So , cos Ф = \frac{AC}{BC} = \frac{h}{d}

And sin Ф =  \frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{5500}{d}

∵, cos²Ф = 1 - sin²Ф

So, (\frac{h}{d})^{2} = 1 - (\frac{5500}{d})^{2}

Or, (\frac{h}{d})^{2} = (\frac{d^{2}- 5500^{2}}{d^{2}})

Or,                                     h² = d² - 5500²

∴                                        h = \sqrt{d^{2}- 5500^{2}}

Or,                                     h = \sqrt{(d + 5500) (d - 5500)}

Hence The expression of h as function of x is   h = \sqrt{(d + 5500) (d - 5500)}     Answer

If Alex is 14 years old, and Ben is 17 years old, in how many years will the sum of their ages be 169 years?
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

69 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of Alex's and Ben's current age

= 14 +17

= 31 years

For every year, Alex and Ben will each be one year older. Thus, 2 years would be added to the sum of their ages with each passing year.

Difference in the sum of their ages

= 169 -31

= 138 years

Number of sets of 2 years

= 138 ÷2

= 69

Thus, the sum of their ages will be 169 in 69 years.

Convert the given amount to the given unit 15 days;hours
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

360 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert 15 days into hours, we need to find hours in a day. There are 24 hours in a day.

We can take 15 days/1 and multiply it by 24 hours/1 day, and we can cancel out the day units.

Then, we multiply 15 by 24 to get 360 hours.

Hope this helps
