ANSWER: Plane dropped 6097 feet in altitude.
BECAUSE: An airplane is at point A from where it continued to descend by 30° for an approximate distance of 2 miles
∠ACB = Angle of descent = 30°
Distance BC = 2 miles
Let the plane dropped the altitude = h miles
Now tan 30° =
h = 1.155 miles
h ≈ 1.16 miles
Since 1 mile = 5280 feet
1.15 miles = 5280×1.16 feet
= 6097 feet
Therefore, the plane dropped by 6097 feet vertically.
An easy way to solve fraction problems like this is to make each fraction have the same denominator. Since he has $100, the denominator will be 100.
2/10=?/100 10*10=100 1*10=20 20/100 of his money he wants to spend on video games
55/100 already has 100 as its denominator, so he wants to spend 55/100 on a skateboard.
3/10=?/100 10*10=100 3*10=100 30/100 is how much he wants to spend on comic books.
Add all of the fractions together to see how much he wants to spend and if he has enough.
20/100+55/100+30/100=105/100
He wants to spend $105, which is $5 more than he has.
Ther will be 40 eights. Hope this helps!
A tangent forms a right angle with the centre of circle at the point it touches the circumference. i.e. OAB = 90 degrees
If AOB = 55 degrees, then ABO = 90 - 55 = 35 degrees
