The horizontal distance until the plan flies over the island is 2687.05 feet approximately.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that, A plane at an altitude of 7000 ft is flying in the direction of an island

An angle of depression is 21 degree from the plane to the island

We have to find what is the horizontal distance until the plan flies over the island  

The diagram is attached below

Assume as shown in the diagram , now we can use the right angle triangle property

\tan (21)=\frac{\text {distance between plane and point above island}}{\text {height of plane}}

\tan (21)=\frac{\text {distance between plane and point above island}}{7000}

\text { Distance between plane and point above island }=7000 \times \tan (21)

=7000 \times 0.38386=2687.0482

Hence, the distance between plane and point above island is 2687.05 feet approximately.

Write the slope-intercept form of the given line. Include your work in your final answer.
Degger [83]

Answer:

y=1x+-1

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b

m=slope which is 1/1 because it is rise over run (rising 1, running 1)

b=y-intercept form which is -1 because that is where the line meets the y axis

If M is the set of all square numbers less than 80 and N is the set of all non-negative even numbers that are under 30, Write th
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

All square numbers are numbers formed by squaring a single number. If M is the set of all square numbers less than 80, then

M = (4, 9, 16, 25, 49, 64)

Even numbers are numbers that are divisible by 2 without remainder.

If N is the set of all non-negative even numbers that are under 30, then

N = (2, 4, 6, 8 ,10, 12, 14, 16,18,20, 22, 24, 26,28)

It will not include 30 because we want even numbers under 30
