Answer:
Height of shuttle at that instant = 1.17 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Refer the given figure.
C is the position of rocket and B is the position of observer.
Here we need to find AC, that is the height of shuttle at that instant.
Using trigonometric rules on ΔABC, we have
Height of shuttle at that instant = AC = 1.17 miles
Answer:
11.4
20/100 = x/57
Step-by-step explanation:
It is perhaps simplest just to translate the given English sentence into a mathematical sentence.
... 20% ... ... of ... 57 ... is ... what number
... 20/100 ... × ... 57 .... = ... what number . . . . . . . . translation to math sentence
... 11.4 = what number . . . . . . . . carry out the multiplication
_____
If you're asked to write this as a proportion, you can write it like this:
You can solve this proportion by multiplying by 57 (the denominator under "what number"). Doing so gives you the same arithmetic sentence as shown above.
