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.)

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

 32 Roller Coasters

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 112 rides in Cedar Point.

\frac{2}{7} of these rides are roller coasters.

In Algebraic Word Problems, the term "OF" means Multiplication.

Number of Roller Coasters = \frac{2}{7} of 112

                                          =\frac{2}{7} X 112

                                          =2 x 16

                                          =32

There are 32 Roller Coasters in Cedar's point's collection of rides.
