Answer:

  48°

Step-by-step explanation:

The relevant trig relation is ...

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  sin(α) = (350 m)/(470 m) = 35/47

  α = arcsin(35/47) ≈ 48.13°

The angle of elevation of the plane is about 48°.

Carmen worked more than 40 hours last week and earned $352.95. Her regular hourly pay rate is $7.80. After 40 hours, she is paid
posledela

She worked 50.5 hours last week.

7.80x40=312

352.95-312=40.95

40.95/4.90=10.5

10.5+40=50.5

the function of y= x^2 - 4x + 8 approximates the height y, of a bird and its horizontal distance, x as it flies from one fence p
Vika [28.1K]
Rewrite the given equation as 
y=x^2-4x+8=x^2-4x+4+4=(x-2)^2+4.
Since (x-2)^2\ge 0, you can conclude that the imimum value of y will be gained for the minimum value of (x-2)^2. The minimum value of (x-2)^2 is 0 for x=2. 
So, y(2)=0+4=4.
Answer: minimum value of y is 4, when x=2.

Dhaulagiri is the 7th highest mountain in the world. Ms. Fink is walking through
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

4833 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that her angle of elevation at the first recording is 47.3 at an altitude of 4900 m

We use Pythagoras Theorem to get this done

We can say that the opposite of the angle is the altitude, while the hypotenuse of the triangle, is the distance between herself and the top

Using the sine angle rule, we have

Sine 47.3 = 4900 / h

h = 4900 / sin 47.3

h = 4900 / 0.7349

h = 6668 m

This means that she was 6668 m away from the top of the mountain

She then moves 1000 m closer to the mountain top, this means that our h = 6668 - 1000

Using the same sine angle rule, we have

Sine 58.5 = o / 5668

o = 5668 * sine 58.5

o = 5668 * 0.8526

o = 4833 m

She is 4833 m above the sea level

Leezas aquarium holds 55 gallons of water. She is filling the tank and has already put in 22 gallons. Write and solve an inequal
svp [43]

Leeza can put 33 or less gallons of water in aquarium.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Capacity of aquarium = 55 gallons of water

Water already in aquarium = 22 gallons

Let,

x be the number of gallons that can be added in aquarium.

As aquarium can hold 55 gallons of water, therefore, we cannot add more than 55 gallons of water.

x+22\leq 55

Subtracting 22 from both sides

x+22-22\leq 55-22\\x\leq 33

Leeza can put 33 or less gallons of water in aquarium.
