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.

The hours of daylight,y, in Utica in days, x, from January 1, 2013 can be modeled by the equation y=3.06sin(0.017x-1.40) + 12.23
defon
The month of January has 31 days, so from January 1st to February 14th, there are 31 + 14 or 45 days, namely x = 45.

y = 3.06 * sin[ 0.017(45) - 1.40 ] + 12.23.

make sure your calculator is in Degree mode.

Rosetta listed her assets and liabilities on a personal balance sheet.
avanturin [10]

Answer:

$50,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the amount received after paying off the mortgage is shown below

= Value of the house - mortgage amount

= $150,000 - $100,000

= $50,000

By deducting the mortgage amount from the value of the house we can get the amount received and the same is shown in the computation part

Since in the question it is given that the Rosetta sells her house and paid off mortgage so only these two items are considered and others are to be ignored

There are 100 students in a blind school. Mr.and Mrs. Ramesh wished to serve them milk. They served the milk in a hemispherical
zysi [14]
A) The radius of the hemisphere is:
r = d÷2 = 21÷2 = 10.5cm

We can now calculate the volume of a hemisphere:
V = 2/3 π r<span>³
   = </span> 2/3 π (10.5)³
   = 2423 cm³

As we can consider that 1000cm³ contains 1l, each bowl contains 
2423 ÷ 1000 =2.423l.
In total, the milk served will be: 2.423 × 100 = 242l

B) The total cost will be: 
242 × 10 = 2420Rs

C)<span> Mr.and Mrs. Ramesh helped blind students using an eco-friendly material, therefore they have shown social and environmental values.</span>
