Answer:

C. 3.5 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Reference angle = angle of elevation

Angle of elevation = angle of depression = 6° (alternate angle theorem)

Hypotenuse = x

Opposite = 1905 ft

Apply trigonometric function SOH:

Sin 6° = Opp/Hyp

Sin 6° = 1905/x

x * Sin 6° = 1905

x = 1905/Sin 6°

x = 18,224.7 ft

Convert form feet to miles

1 mi = 5,280 ft

Therefore,

18,224.7 = 18,224.7/5,280

= 3.45164773 mi

≈ 3.5 mi (nearest mile)

the surface areas of two similar solids are 1008cm^2 and 1372ccm^2. the volume of the larger solid is 1801cm^3 find the volume o
adoni [48]
This can be treated as a proportion problem.

Larger solid: 
Surface area = 1,372 cm²
Volume = 1,801 cm³

Smaller solid:
Surface area = 1,008cm²
Volume = ?

1,372 / 1,801 = 1008 / x
1,372 * x = 1,801 * 1008
1,372x = 1,815,408
x = 1,815,408 / 1,372
x = 1,323.18

The volume of the smaller solid is 1,323.18 cm³
