The answer should be 1.8 or 1 4/5
Answer: 4.5 miles
Explanation:
When you draw the situation you find two triangles.
1) Triangle to the east of the helicopter
a) elevation angle from the high school to the helicopter = depression angle from the helicopter to the high school = 20°
b) hypotensue = distance between the high school and the helicopter
c) opposite-leg to angle 20° = heigth of the helicopter
d) adyacent leg to the angle 20° = horizontal distance between the high school and the helicopter = x
2) triangle to the west of the helicopter
a) elevation angle from elementary school to the helicopter = depression angle from helicopter to the elementary school = 62°
b) distance between the helicopter and the elementary school = hypotenuse
c) opposite-leg to angle 62° = height of the helicopter
d) adyacent-leg to angle 62° = horizontal distance between the elementary school and the helicopter = 5 - x
3) tangent ratios
a) triangle with the helicpoter and the high school
tan 20° = Height / x ⇒ height = x tan 20°
b) triangle with the helicopter and the elementary school
tan 62° = Height / (5 - x) ⇒ height = (5 - x) tan 62°
c) equal the height from both triangles:
x tan 20° = (5 - x) tan 62°
x tan 20° = 5 tan 62° - x tan 62°
x tan 20° + x tan 62° = 5 tan 62°
x (tan 20° + tan 62°) = 5 tan 62°
⇒ x = 5 tant 62° / ( tan 20° + tan 62°)
⇒ x = 4,19 miles
=> height = x tan 20° = 4,19 tan 20° = 1,525 miles
4) Calculate the hypotenuse of this triangle:
hipotenuese ² = x² + height ² = (4.19)² + (1.525)² = 19.88 miles²
hipotenuse = 4.46 miles
Rounded to the nearest tenth = 4.5 miles
That is the distance between the helicopter and the high school.
Answer:
(1, 4)
Ste-step explanation:
The relative max of this function is read directly from the graph: 4. This value of y occurs when x = 1.
Answer:
200,300,290,320,340
Step-by-step explanation:
If the mean of five numbers = 290
Then the total sum of the five numbers should be= 290*5
= 1450
an example of a set of five different numbers whose mean is 290
= 200,300,290,320,340
Summation of the above
=( 200+300+290+320+340)
= 1450
So the above set of numbers is a good example of a set of five different numbers whose mean is 290
Answer:13.5 oz of milk
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3=9/x
Cross product
2×x=9×3
2x=27
X=27/2
X=13.5
