Answer:

381623 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the airport altitude is 20000 ft and the pilot needs a 2° descent, to calculate the distance of the airplane at the start of this approach, first this is represented in the diagram attached. The distance from the runway at the start is x.

tan(3) = \frac{20000}{x} \\x=\frac{20000}{tan(3)} \\x=381623ft

The airplane is at a distance of 381623 ft away from the airplane runaway at the start of the descent.

A Walgreens purchase comes to $28. Find the total cost if a 2% sales tax is included.
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

The answer is $28.56

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the 2% sales tax, you need to multiply the 2% or 0.02 by 28.

Doing this will give you 0.56.

Then you add 0.56 to 28 to get 28.56, hence, $28.56 is the total cost.

Hope it helps!
