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.

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

60cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = length x breath

Let,

length (L) = (a-1) cm

breadth (B) = (a+3) cm

Putting the value of a = 7;

we get,

length= 7-1 = 6 cm

breadth= 7+3 = 10 cm

Therefore, area of the rectangle = L x B

= 6 x 10

= 60 cm²
