Answer:

A = 1/2 B H       area = 1/2 base X height

B = 2 A / H = 2 * 99 / 12 = 16.5 cm

dA / d t = 1/2 * (B dH / dt + H dB / dt)

dB / dt = (2 dA / dt - B dH / dt) / H

dB / dt = (2 * 1.5 cm^2 / min - 16.5 cm * 2 cm / min) / 12 cm

dB / dt = (3 - 33) / 12 cm/min = -2.5 cm/min

Ethan is watching a satellite launch from an observation spot 1 mile away. Find the angle of elevation from Ethan to the satelli
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

\theta=80.53^{\circ}

Step-by-step explanation:

From the attached figure, AB is the height of the satellite and the distance between Ethan and the ground is 1 mile.

We can find the angle of elevation from Ethan to the satellite using trigonometry as follows :

\tan\theta=\dfrac{P}{B}\\\\\tan\theta=\dfrac{6}{1}\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(6)\\\\\theta=80.53^{\circ}

So, the angle of elevation is 80.53 degrees.
