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.

An image of two concentric circles is shown with r2 = 6 and r1 = 2:
AysviL [449]

The radius of the Outer circle (with r₂) is 6 and the radius of the inner circle (with r₁) is 2. When objects are similar, they have a proportional relationship. If we take the outer circle and squeeze by one third, we get a radius of 6 x 1/3 = 2. On the other hand, if we start with the inner circle and stretch it by 3, we get a radius of 2 x 3 = 6.


Thus, to make r₂ similar, we use a scale factor of 1/3. The third choice is best.

You earn $9 per hour babysitting. This is $2 more than what you earned per hour last year. What did you earn last year?
slamgirl [31]
$7 is the correct answer for *per hour*, as 9-2=7. Notice how it says how much did you earn last year, implying total earned. How many hours did you work last year?
