Answer:

Base length of plane from control tower = 73,880 feet (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height of plane from ground = 20,000 feet

Height of control tower = 200 feet

Angle of elevation from control tower = 15°

Find:

Base length of plane from control tower

Computation:

Height of plane from control tower = 20,000 - 200

Height of plane from control tower = 19,800 feet

Tan θ = Perpendicular / Base

Tan15 = 19,800 / Base length of plane from control tower

0.268 = 19,800 / Base length of plane from control tower

Base length of plane from control tower = 73,880 feet (Approx.)

Please help me idk this
Sergio [31]
First take the fractions and find their common denominator:
\frac{1}{2} x 4 =\frac{4}{8}

Now you can add the fractions:
\frac{4}{8} + \frac{1}{8} = \frac{5}{8}

Now add your whole numbers and the fraction:
1+1= 2 >> 2+\frac{5}{8} = 2\frac{5}{8} yards

Now subract 2\frac{5}{8} from 5:
5-2\frac{5}{8} =2\frac{3}{8} yards

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

180 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the angle at the circumference is 90 degrees the arc joining the 2 other points = 180  degrees.

So x = 360 - 180 = 180 degrees.

7. In 2015 a club has 250 members who each
Evgen [1.6K]

2015:

250 members

$95 annual subscription

2016

250 members + 4%

$95 annual subscription + 6%

Work:

250 x 1.04 = 260

95 x 1.06 =  100.7

260 x 100.7 = 26,182

Thus, the club makes $26,182 from 260 members who pay a subscription of $100.7
