Answer:

<em>The helicopter is 27.38 m far off the ground</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The drawing shown in the image below has all the measures and variables needed to solve the problem.

We need to find R, the height of the helicopter. We'll use the law of sines to find the length of side a.

\displaystyle \frac{28}{\sin X}=\frac{a}{\sin 54^\circ}

The angle X is the measure needed to complete 180°:

X = 180° - 54° - 62° = 64°

Solving for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{28}{\sin 64^\circ}\cdot \sin 54^\circ

Calculating:

a = 31.11 m

Now using the sine ratio in the right triangle to the left side:

\displaystyle \sin 62^\circ=\frac{R}{a}

Solving for R:

R=a\sin 62^\circ

R=31.11*0.88

R = 27.38 m

The helicopter is 27.38 m far off the ground

slope =  \frac{ {y}^{1} -  {y}^{o}  }{ {x}^{1}  -  {x}^{o} }  \\  =  \frac{2 - ( - 2)}{ - 3 - 9}  \\  =  \frac{4}{ - 12}  \\ slope =  -  \frac{1}{3}

A line passes through the origin and has a slope of -3 what is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the first line
Marianna [84]

Answer: y=\frac{1}{3}x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line is Slope-intercept form is:

y=mx+b

Where "m" is the slope and "b" the y-intercept.

The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocal.

Then, if the slope of the first line is -3, the slope of the other line must be:

m=\frac{1}{3}

Substitute the point (3,4) into the equation and solve for b:

4=\frac{1}{3}(3)+b\\ 4-1=b\\b=3

Then the equation of this line is:

y=\frac{1}{3}x+3

Given the right angle triangle shown here, calculate:
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)

(a)

sin(a) = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{15}{17}

(b)

cos(a) = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} = \frac{8}{17}

(c)

tan(a) = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{15}{8}

----------------------------------------------------

(2)

(a)

sin(b) = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{8}{17}

(b)

cos(b) = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} = \frac{15}{17}

(c)

tan(b) = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{8}{15}

If f(x) = -5X - 4 and g(x) = -3x - 2, find (f + g)(x).
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

(f+g) (x)= -5x-4= (-3x-2)

or, -5x + 3x= -4+2

or, -2x= -2

or,x= 2/2

:. x= 1

Step-by-step explanation:

first we have to make same alphabet and put together if there is subtract if it come in front we should make add and we can get the value of x
