Answer:

The angle of elevation of the plane measured from Ahmed is approximately 36.67°

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters of the float plane are;

The height of the float plane above the water, y = 350 m

The horizontal distance of the float plane from Ahmed, x = 470 m

Given that Ahmed is sitting on the dock, by the water, by trigonometric ratios, we have;

The height of the float plane, the distance of the plane from Ahmed and the line of sight forming the angle of elevation of the plane measured from Ahmed, form a right triangle

tan\angle X = \dfrac{Opposite \ leg \ length}{Adjacent \ Leg\ length}

Therefore

tan(\theta) = \dfrac{y}{x}

Where;

θ = The angle of elevation of the plane measured from Ahmed

y = The leg of the right triangle opposite the reference angle

x = The leg  of the right adjacent to reference angle

Therefore;

θ = arctan(y/x) which gives;

θ = arctan(350/470) ≈ 36.67°

The angle of elevation of the plane measured from Ahmed, θ ≈ 36.67°.

Ipatiy [6.2K]
<span>If Dingane has $8.00, and thirty percent of that money is from five cent coins, then 8 x 0.3 = $2.40 of Dingane's money is made of five cent coins. In this case the number of five cent coins is the number of cents divided by five: 240/5 = 48. Therefore, Dingane has forty-eight five-cent coins.</span>

Help plssss no links or files or i will report

Answer: 350/12

I think 29 2/12 can be also true because they didn't simplify the 2/12 to 1/6.

Step-by-step explanation:

You'll have to use the basic formula for volume is length × width × height. The sample box has the area of 23 1/3 which is found by length x width. They give you the height 1 1/4. I am assuming you will need to multiply 23 1/3 by 1 1/4. You'll get 350/12.

If it's simplify further it will be 175/6 or 29 1/6 as a mixed fraction.
