ANSWER: Plane dropped 6097 feet in altitude.
BECAUSE: An airplane is at point A from where it continued to descend by 30° for an approximate distance of 2 miles
∠ACB = Angle of descent = 30°
Distance BC = 2 miles
Let the plane dropped the altitude = h miles
Now tan 30° =


h = 1.155 miles
h ≈ 1.16 miles
Since 1 mile = 5280 feet
1.15 miles = 5280×1.16 feet
= 6097 feet
Therefore, the plane dropped by 6097 feet vertically.

Amir stands on a balcony and throws a ball to his dog, who is at ground level. The ball's height (in meters above the ground), x
kumpel [21]

Answer:

12m

Step-by-step explanation

If the height of the ball after x seconds be modelled by the equation

h(x)=−(x−2)² +16

The height of the ball at the time it is thrown will be the height at the initial time. At that point that it is initially thrown the time is 0seconds i.e x = 0

To get the height at t x = 0seconds, we will substitute x = 0 into the modeled function to have;

h(0) = -(-0-2)²+16.

h(0) = -(-2)²+16

h(0) = -4+16

h(0) = 12

The height of the ball at the time the ball is thrown is 12m

In traveling from a dormitory to a certain city, a student went 1/5 of the way by foot, 2/3 of the way by bus, and the remaining
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, what we know is that the total distance from the dormitory to the city is 1 if expressed in fraction. What we need to know is the fraction of the journey that is scheduled as the last part.

We can get this by subtracting the fractions of the first two phases from 1.

This goes as follows:

1 - (1/5) - (2/3) = 2/15

Now, we know that the final 8 kilometers constitute a fraction of just 2/5

Hence, we know that 2/15 of the total journey is 8 kilometers.

Let the total journey distance be T. This means that 2/15 of T is 8km

2/15 * T = 8km

T = ( 8 * 15 )/2 = 120/2 = 60km
