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.

san4es73 [151]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • domain: all real numbers
  • range: y ≥ 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is defined for all values of x, so its domain is all real numbers.

The function can produce values of f(x) that are 0 or greater, so its range is ...

  y ≥ 0

Without the wind, a plane would fly due east at a rate of 150 mph. The wind is blowing southeast at a rate of 50 mph. The wind i
ch4aika [34]
The actual speed of the plane with the wind:
v² = ( 150 + 50 · cos 45°)² + ( 50 · sin 45°)²
v² = ( 150 + 35.355 )² + 35.355²
v² = 34,356.467 + 1,249.976
v = √35,606.452
v = 188.7 mph
