An observer (O) spots a plane (P) taking off from a local airport and flying at a 33° angle horizontal to her line of sight and

located directly above a tower (T). The observer also notices a bird (B) circling directly above her. If the distance from the plane(P) to the tower (T) is 7,000 ft., how far is the bird (B) from the plane (P)? Round to the nearest whole number. (4 points)

Answer:

Option D. 10,779 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given from the figure attached,

PT = OB = 7000 ft

PB = OT = x feet

and angle of elevation (∠POT) = 30°

By applying Tan rule in the triangle POT,

tan33° = \frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}} = \frac{PT}{OT}

tan33° = \frac{7000}{x}

x = \frac{7000}{\text{tan}33}

x = 10779 feet

Therefore, distance between the bird (B) and plane (P) is 10,779 feet.

Option D. will be the answer.

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

The border will be 18.6 inches wide

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Let the width be w</em>

<em>The length = 43 inches</em>

<em>Total wood = 800 square inches</em>

Formula for area of rectangle = length x width

<em>800 = 43 x w</em>

<em>w = 800/43</em>

w = 18.6 inches

Therefore, the border will be 18.6 inches wide.

Which choice correctly shows rounding to the hundredths place?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Choice A is false because they are rounding to the nearest tenth (one decimal place) and not nearest hundredth (two decimal places)

Choice B is false as well because 3.825 should round to 3.83. The 5 at the end tells you to round up. 

Choice C is false too. The value 3.824 should round to 3.82. Not sure how they got 3.81, so it seems like a deliberate trick question or silly answer.

Choice D is true. The three decimal values are rounded properly to the correct number of decimal places. 

Therefore choice D is the answer

Quadrilateral ABCD is a rectangle. If the coordinates of A
Neporo4naja [7]
<h3>Answer: A)  -2</h3>

==========================================

Explanation:

Let's find the slope of line AB

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (2-7)/(-6-4)

m = (-5)/(-10)

m = 1/2

The slope of line AB is 1/2

To get the slope of BC, we flip the fraction and the sign to get the perpendicular slope

1/2 becomes -2/1 or simply -2

----------

Slope of AB = 1/2

Slope of BC = -2

Notice how the two perpendicular slopes multiply to -1.

We know they are perpendicular because the four angles of any rectangle are always 90 degrees each.
