Answer:

The pilot's distance to the horizon is 267.183 kilometers.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that earth has a radius of 6371 kilometers. A pilot is flying at a steady altitude of 5.6 kilometers above the earth's surface.

Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle OAB, we get

OA^2=OB^2+AB^2

(6371+5.6)^2=(6371)^2+AB^2

40661027.56-40589641=AB^2

71386.56=AB^2

Taking square root on both the sides,

\sqrt{71386.56}=AB

267.182634166=AB

267.183\approx AB

Therefore the pilot's distance to the horizon is 267.183 kilometers.

Nicole’s friend runs 3/8 of a mile, but her distance is only 3/5 of Nicole’s distance. How far does Nicole run?
salantis [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3><u>Required Answer</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

Let distance travelled by Nichol =x

<h2>ATQ</h2>

{:}\longrightarrow\sf {\dfrac {3}{5}}\times x={\dfrac {3}{8}}

{:}\longrightarrow\sf {\dfrac {3x}{5}}={\dfrac {3}{8}}

{:}\longrightarrow\sf 8 (3x)=5×3

{:}\longrightarrow\sf 24x=15

{:}\longrightarrow\sf x={\dfrac{24}{15}}

{:}\longrightarrow\sf x=1.6

\therefore Nichol runs 1.6miles .
