An airplane is flying overhead at a constant elevation of 405 ft. A person is viewing the plane from a position 3040 ft from the

base of a radio tower. The airplane is flying horizontally away from the person. If the plane is flying at the rate of 640 ft/s, at what rate is the distance between the person and the plane increasing when the plane passes over the radio tower? At the moment the plane passes over the tower, the distance between the person and plane is changing at a rate of ________ft/s

Answer:

δL/δt = 634,38 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

A right triangle is shaped by  ( y = distance between aircraft and ground which is constant and equal to  405 f ) a person who is at ground level 3040 f away from the tower distance x = 3040 f   and the line between the aircraft and the person. Then we can use Pythagoras theorem and write

L ( distance between aircraft and person )

L²  =  x²  +  y²      or    L²  =  x²  + (405)²

Taken partial derivatives with respect to t we get:

2*L*δL/δt    =  2*x*δx/t + 0

Then      L*δL/δt = x*δx/dt

At the moment of the aircraft passing over the tower

x = 3040 ft       δx/δt = 640 ft/s   and L = √ ( 3040)² + (405)²

So   L  = √9241600  + 164025        L = √9405625   L ≈3066,9 ft

Then:

δL/δt = 3040*640/ 3066,9         units   [ ft * ft/s / ft ]   ft/s

δL/δt = 634,38 ft/s

(05.02 LC)What is the area, in square inches, of the figure shown here? A parallelogram with a height of 4inches is shown. The h
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

36 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure that is been described is a Parallelogram.

The area of a Parallelogram is = Base × Height

From the question, the Height of the Parallelogram = 4 inches

The Base of the Parallelogram is calculated as the Length or base of the rectangle + base of the triangle

= 5 inches + 4 inches

= 9 inches

Area of the Parallelogram = 9 inches × 4 inches

= 36 square inches or 36 in²

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The minimum would be 4,500, and the maximum would be 4,700.

Step-by-step explanation:

If I am not mistaken, you simply need to add or subtract 100 to find the minimum or maximum, as it stated that 4,600 is an estimate that is valid for a range of 100 (up or down).
