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.

Tyler baked 702 cookies. He sold them in boxes of 1i. After selling all the boxes of cookies for the same amount each he earned
ikadub [295]

Answer:

$3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Tyler baked 702 cookies. He sold them in boxes of 18.

First of all we will find the number of boxes of cookies by dividing 702 by 18.

\text{Number of boxes of cookies}=\frac{702}{18}

\text{Number of boxes of cookies}=39

We are told that after selling all the boxes of cookies for the same amount each he earned $136.50. To find the cost of each box we will divide 136.50 by 39.

\text{The cost of one box}=\frac{136.50}{39}

\text{The cost of one box}=3.5

Therefore, the cost of one box of cookies is $3.5.

Alyssa said that 6/8 and 9/12 are not equivalent because there's no whole number you can multiply both parts of 6/8 by to get 9/
luda_lava [24]
No. 6/8=9/12
by multiplying the denominators you get the common denominator of 72
then multiply each numerator by the number of the opposite denominator
8x12=96
6x12=72
9x8=72
Therefore, 72/96=72/96
                   (6/8   = 9/12)

The following graph shows the cost c, in dollars, of p pounds of strawberries at a local grocery store.
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

A. The ordered pair (5, 3.5) represents 5 lbs. of strawberries cost $3.50.

B. The cost per pound of strawberries is shown at (1, 0.7).

C. The relationship shown in the graph is a direct variation because as the pounds of strawberries increase, the cost also increases.

Explanation:

A. The coordinate is in (x,y). The x-axis represents the pound of strawberries and the y-axis represents the cost of the strawberries.

B. The cost for one pound of strawberries can be calculated to find the exact value of y (cost) when x is 1. The graph shows 5 lbs. of strawberries cost $3.50 so divide $3.50 by 5 lbs. to find the cost per pound of strawberries. 3.5 ÷ 5 = 0.7. On the graph, the cost for one pound of strawberries is at (1, 0.7)

C. A direct variation in a graph is shown when both x and y increase or decrease together. In this case, as the pounds of strawberries increase, the cost of the strawberries also increases.
