Answer:

Option B. square root

Step-by-step explanation:

An incoming airplane is x miles due North at A from the control tower and a second airplane is y miles East at B of the same control tower.

The shortest distance between the two airplanes is z miles.

By Pythagoras Theorem

z² = x² + y²

z = √(x² + y²)

So function which models the situation best is "square root".

Therefore, option B. square root is the answer.

Answer:

B. Square root

Step-by-step explanation:

using distance formula:

x = √z^2 - y^2

y = √z^2 - x^2

=> z = √x^2 + y^2

Recall that a right triangle is a triangle with one right angle. One angle of a triangle measures 89.99°. Can the triangle be a
Anastasy [175]
Yes because the right triangle has a right angle which will equal to 90° you can place 89.99 to the nearest whole number which will give you a right angle.

In the equation 0.75 - 5/8s = 44, how do your combine the like terms?
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

and let's then do away with the denominators, by multiplying both sides by the LCD of all fractions, in this case, the LCD will be 8, and then we'll combine the like-terms, but anyway, let's proceed.

7. If the longer leg of a right triangle is twice as long as the shorter leg, what is the ratio of
kicyunya [14]

Answer: The ratio is 2.39, which means that the larger acute angle is 2.39 times the smaller acute angle.

Step-by-step explanation:

I suppose that the "legs" of a triangle rectangle are the cathati.

if L is the length of the shorter leg, 2*L is the length of the longest leg.

Now you can remember the relation:

Tan(a) = (opposite cathetus)/(adjacent cathetus)

Then there is one acute angle calculated as:

Tan(θ)  =  (shorter leg)/(longer leg)

Tan(φ) = (longer leg)/(shorter leg)

And we want to find the ratio between the measure of the larger acute angle and the smaller acute angle.

Then we need to find θ and φ.

Tan(θ) = L/(2*L)

Tan(θ) = 1/2

θ = Atan(1/2) = 26.57°

Tan(φ) = (2*L)/L

Tan(φ) = 2

φ = Atan(2) = 63.43°

Then the ratio between the larger acute angle and the smaller acute angle is:

R = (63.43°)/(26.57°) = 2.39

This means that the larger acute angle is 2.39 times the smaller acute angle.
