Kurt is flying his airplane over a campground. He spots a small fire below at an angle of depression of 32 degrees. If the horiz

ontal distance from Kurt’s plane to the fire is 3600 feet, find the approximate altitude of his plane.

Answer:

3293 ft to nearest tenth = side

Step-by-step explanation:

To find altitude this is the same in trigonometry as finding the side and we use calculation below in finding the hypotenuse which is same term as side for the angle of depression just to double check that height (altitude is less than slope in calculation).

sin (32) = 0.9271838546

3600/0.9271838546 = 3882.725074

= 3883 ft to nearest tenth. = slope

Then cos (32)x3882.725074 = 3292.737608

= 3293 ft to nearest tenth = side

When you subtract one square number from another the answer is 5. What are the two square numbers?
xenn [34]
1.) First you have to write down your square numbers. Remember to only write the first couple of numbers because as square numbers get bigger the difference between them does.5 is a small number so only write the first couple numbers.

1,4,9,16,25

2.) Then you find the difference between each number.
25 - 16= 9
9 - 4 =5
4 - 1 =3

3.) look at which numbers have the difference of 5 and in this case it will be 9 and 4.

hope this helped.

Which of the following statements is true for a point in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane?
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Choice B: Start at the origin. Move x units to the right, and y units upwards.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two axes on a typical Cartesian coordinate plane:

  • The horizontal x-axis, and
  • The vertical y-axis.

Many diagrams of a Cartesian plane would have arrows on these two axis. Typically, there would be:

  • a rightward arrow \verb!->! on the right-hand side of the horizontal x-axis, and
  • an upward arrow \uparrow at top of the vertical y-axis.

The arrow on the x-axis pointing rightward suggests that as a point move to the right, the x\! coordinate of that point would increase. Conversely, it would be necessary to move points to the right so as to increase their \! x-coordinates.

On the other hand, the arrow pointing upwards on the y-axis indicate that as a point move upward, the y\! coordinate of that point would increase. With a similar logic, it would be necessary to move points upward to increase their \! y-coordinates.

Besides, the origin (the intersection of the two axis, unless otherwise specified) would corresponds to (0,\, 0). (That is: x = 0 and y = 0.) If the origin (0,\, 0)\! is the starting point, it would be necessary to increase the x-coordinate by x\! units (by moving rightward x\!\! units) and increase the the y-coordinate by y\! units (by moving upwards y\!\! units) so as to reach the point (x,\, y).
