Sam sees a rocket traveling straight up at an angle of elevation of 24 degrees. If Sam is located 5 miles from the rocket Launch

Given :

Angle of elevation, Ф = 24°.

Distance of Sam from launchpad, D = 5 miles.

To Find :

How high is the rocket.

Solution :

Let, height is h.

We know, tan Ф is given by :

tan \ \phi=\dfrac{h}{d}\\\\tan \ 24^{\circ}=\dfrac{h}{5}\\\\h = 5\times tan \ 24^{\circ}\\\\h = 2.226 \ miles

Hence, this is the required solution.

Determine the surface area of each triangular prism. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

  1. 108 cm^2
  2. 211.2 cm^2
  3. 308.8 mm^2
  4. 560 yd^2

Step-by-step explanation:

In each case, you can use the given formula to find the surface area. The area of the triangular base (B) is ...

  A = 1/2bh

where b is the base of the triangle, and h is the height of the triangle perpendicular to that base.

You will notice that B is multiplied by 2 in the area formula, because there is a triangular base at either end of the prism. That means we can save some work by not multiplying by 1/2, and then by 2.

__

For figures 1, 3, 4, the triangle is a right triangle, so the base and height make up two of the three sides of it. The perimeter is finished by adding the length of the hypotenuse. That sum is then multiplied by the "height" of the prism (distance between bases) to find the lateral area as part of the area formula (Ph).

In figure 3, the triangle is equilateral, so the perimeter is not the sum of the base and height and a third side. In the attached spreadsheet, we have used a value "rest of perimeter" to make the sum be the right value for use in computing the value of Ph. For figure 3, that is 6+6-5.2=6.8. Then the sum 6 +5.2 +6.8 is 18, the proper perimeter for that figure.

__

The idea here is to let a spreadsheet do the tedious work of applying the same formula to different sets of numbers. The areas are ...

  1. 108 cm^2
  2. 211.2 cm^2
  3. 308.8 mm^2
  4. 560 yd^2

__

By way of example, we can "show work" for problem 1:

1. S = Ph +2B

  S = (4 +3 +5)(8) +2(1/2)(4)(3) = 12(8) +12 = 96 +12 = 108 . . . cm^2

Chose all the values of x that are not in the domain of this rational function. Picture attached, 15 points and I'll give Brainl
pogonyaev

Answer:

All of them.

Step-by-step explanation:

For rational functions, the domain is all real numbers <em>except</em> for the zeros of the denominator.

Therefore, to find the x-values that are not in the domain, we need to solve for the zeros of the denominator. Therefore, set the denominator to zero:

x(x-1)(x^2-4)=0

Zero Product Property:

x\neq 0\text{ or }x-1\neq 0\text{ or }x^2-4\neq 0

Solve for the x in each of the three equations. The first one is already solved. Thus:

x-1\neq 0 \text{ or }x^2-4\neq 0\\x\neq 1\text{ or }x^2\neq 4\\x\neq 1 \text{ or }x\neq\pm 2

Thus, the values that <em>cannot</em> be in the domain of the rational function is:

x=-2,0,1,2

Click all the options.
