5 miles high is one of the sides of a triangle depending on accuracy level
h^2=x^2+y^2
we don't have 2 distances
Tan A=O/a
O=a tan A
We solve for O because the angle is at the top of the line going up and we want the opposite angle that is along the ground
O=5×tan(173.7/2)=90.854033512
The distance he can see is:
90.85*2~181.7 miles
Now we need to find the distance between lines:
The north south distance between each line is 69 miles
thus the number of degrees he will see will be:
181.7/69
=2 19/30
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
I think I'm not that sure
Answer:
(0, 3 ), (5, 0), (10, -3), (15, -6)
Step-by-step explanation:
3x − 5y = 15
-5y = 3x + 15
y = 
Point 1: (0, 3 )
y = -3/5(0) + 3
y = 0 + 3
y = 3
Validate:
3 = -3/5(0) + 3
3 = 3
Point 2: (5, 0)
y = -3/5(5) + 3
y = -3 + 3
y = 0
Validate:
0 = -3/5(5) + 3
0 = 0
Point 3: (10, -3)
y = -3/5(10) + 3
y = -6 + 3
y = -3
Validate:
-3 = -3/5(10) + 3
-3 = -3
Point 4: (15, -6)
y = -3/5(15) + 3
y = -9 + 3
y = -6
Validate:
-6 = -3/5(15) + 3
-6 = -6
Answer:
See explanation below.
Step-by-step explanation:
A right triangle is a triangle that has a right angle (90º). In math, the Pythagorean theorem allows us to calculate the length of the sides of a right triangle.
In a right triangle, the legs are the two sides that meet at the 90º angle and the hypotenuse is the side that opposes the right angle. The Pythagorean Theorem tells us that the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the legs. In other words:
where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the legs.
Now, we can use this formula to calculate the diagonal of the pool if we just have the length and the width (these would be the legs of the triangle). We need to measure both the length and the width and then square both of them and sum up the squares: this would give us the square of the diagonal so we will only need to find its quadratic root and we will have the length of the diagonal.
For example, let's say we have a pool that is 3 ft by 4ft, using the formula we have:
Therefore, in this case the diagonal would be 5 ft long.
