Answer:

404.98 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle of depression is 5°

The horizontal distance from the airplane to the atoll is 4629 meters.

We need to find the height of the plane.

If we consider a triangle. 4629 meters will be the base and angle is 5°. Let h is the height of the plane. Using trigonometry to find it :

\tan\theta=\dfrac{x}{4629 }\\\\\tan(5)=\dfrac{x}{4629 }\\\\x=\tan(5)\times 4629 \\\\x=404.98\ m

So, the height of the plane is 404.98 m.

First, make sure that all the variables are in one side. The first equation is gonna be x-y=3

Second, we are going to eliminate the y because it is much easier, but you can also eliminate the x

We have to add both equation because the y in the first equation is negative and in the second equation it’s positive.

We are left with 3x=9

Therefore, x=3

Last, substitute x= 3 in one of the equations

Y=6

P.O.I is (3,6)

If a+b+c=16 and a^2+b^2+c^2=90 then find the value a^3+b^3+c^3-3abc
grin007 [14]

(a+b+c)^2=a^2+b^2+c^2+2(ab+bc+ca)\\(16)^2=90+2(ab+bc+ca)\\256-90=2(ab+bc+ca)\\166/2=ab+bc+ca\\83=ab+bc+ca\\a^3-b^3-c^3-3abc=(a+b+c)(a^2+b^2+c^2-ab-bc-ca)\\(a+b+c)(a^2+b^2+c^2-(ab+bc+ca))\\16(90-(83))\\16(7)\\=112
