If the second leg is x so
 x² = b² - a²
x² = (20)² - (12)² = 256
x = 16 in

Answer:

a:c = 35:24

a:c = 20:27

a:c = 35:22

a:c = 28:27

Step-by-step explanation:

a:b = 7:3

Using cross products

3a = 7b

Divide by 7

3a/7 = b

Now we want

8b = 5c

Substitute in 3a/7 for b

8 (3a/7) = 5c

24/7a = 5c

Multiply by 7

24/7a *7 = 5*7c

24a = 35c

Divide by c

24 a/c = 35

Divide by 24

a/c = 35/24

a:c = 35:24

a:b = 4:9

Using cross products

9a = 4b

Divide by 4

9a/4 = b

Now we want

3b = 5c

Substitute in 9a/4 for b

3 (9a/4) = 5c

27/4a = 5c

Multiply by 4

27/4a *4 = 5*4c

27a = 20c

Divide by c

27 a/c = 20

Divide by 27

a/c = 20/27

a:c = 20:27

b:c = 5:11

Using cross products

11b = 5c

Divide by 11

b = 5c/11

Now we want

2a = 7b

Substitute in 5c/11 for b

2a = 7(5c/11)

2a = 35c/11

Multiply by 11

2a*11 = 35c

22a = 35c

Divide by c

22 a/c = 35

Divide by 22

a/c = 35/22

a:c = 35:22

b:c = 14:3

Using cross products

3b = 14c

Divide by 3

b = 14c/3

Now we want

9a = 2b

Substitute in 14c/3 for b

9a = 2(14c/3)

9a = 28c/3

Multiply by 3

9a*3 = 28c

27a = 28c

Divide by c

27 a/c = 28

Divide by 27

a/c = 28/27

a:c = 28:27

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

1974.6 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

The plane's altitude is : h + 100 feets

To obtain h, according to the attached picture ;

We can use trigonometry :

Tan θ = opposite / Adjacent

Opposite = h ; adjacent = 3000 feets

Tan 32° = h / 3000

h = 3000 * 0.6248693

h = 1874.6080

Plane's altitude :

h + 100 feets

(1874.6080 + 100) feets

= 1974.6 feets
