Answer: x = -4, y = 0.5, z = 5 +t
Hi!
The line L whose direction is parallel to vector V a passes through point A
is parametrized
Where t, is a real number, and is a any point on line L.
In this case the direction is that of the z-axis , so V = (0, 0, 1)
A is the midpoint between points B = (0, -4, 9) and C=(-8, 5, 1)
The midpoint is A = (B + C)/2 = (-4, 0.5, 5)
Then the line is:
The equations for each coordinate are:
Answer:
D. 22,417 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Fine the diagram in the attachment for proper elucidation. Using the SOH, CAH, TOA trigonometry identity to solve for the distance (x) from the plane (P) to the observer (O), the longest side x is the hypotenuse and the side facing the angle of elevation is the opposite.
Hypotenuse = x and Opposite = 15,000feet
According to SOH;
Hence the distance (x) from the plane P to the observer O is approximately 22,417 feet
